- Chicken Soup
- This is the very best chicken broth, and it will definitely improve how you feel if you have a cold. I believe the origin was Jack Shelton over 20 years ago, but it has been tweeked some.
- Clam Chowder
- This is a basic, delightful chowder recipe.
- Minestrone Soup
- The contents of this soup can vary depending on what you have on hand. The broth can be based totally on vegetables if you are vegetarian, you can cook it for just hours or all day.
- Most Wonderful Mushroom Soup
- Origin: from Patrick Hamilton, Mycological Society of San Francisco. Ralph appears to have altered this recipe to create his own version (see "Ralph Merola's Great Mushroom Soup recipe"). Both are excellent.

- ... and just before serving, add a bit of the brandy and a good pinch of the nutmeg to each bowl of soup.
