With almost any soup you might consider too chunky to be drinkable, you could just cut the bits up finer. Maybe borscht.

Lentil soup is pretty filling. You can blend in veggies to make it more drinkable as well.

Just find a soup that you blend. Carrot or squash soups qualify. In fact, you could take any ordinary soup and do this to it.

Italian Minestrone or swiss barley soup. Just cut everything to small pieces. These types of soups are very filling, I often eat them as main dish.

Goulash might work as well but you have to cook it really long so that the meat fells apart easily.

Me

Broccoli cheddar? Some the broccoli is pureed down and not chunky.

I made this Lemony Chickpea Soup recently. You just want to puree all of the chickpeas instead of leaving some out.

ponders

I don’t know how one would quantify “heartiest”.

I guess if one uses caloric content, it’s probably something with a lot of oil, since oil is about as calorie-dense as you can get food.

Plus, you need it to “flow”, water doesn’t have calories, and so you’re going to want a liquid to replace water as much as possible.

Oil itself is drinkable, though I’d guess that you probably wouldn’t count it as a soup.

How much oil you can add to a soup – because various recipes I see online do have recipes suggesting “add to taste” – before it stops qualifying as a soup is probably not well-defined anywhere.

Beef broth

It may depend on what man mean by ‘most hearty’. Aren’t all soups hearty?

If you use an immersion blender on a good potato soup or clam chowder, you could drink it.

Also: Lipton makes a cup o soup? Do they have a French onion one? 😮

italian wedding soup, so yummy.
