Просуп

Russians eat soup with every lunch (or it might be more correct to say dinner in this context), but Americans have it as a meal. I've never even heard Americans delineate everyday meals into the three courses that Russians do.

Meanwhile, Andy doesn't usually like soup, but I do, so we compromise and I make it infrequently. Usually, he eats it on the first day and I have it for lunch for a few days thereafter - I tend to make a big pot.

Here are some soups I've been liking to make lately:
Avgolemono
Creamed spinach soups of various kinds (or kale, too)
Ochazuke
Easy borscht: store-bought borscht soup base plus diced beets, cucumber, hardboiled eggs and sour cream (OK, it's actually more like холодник)
And maybe some other ones I'm forgetting. Maybe my brain turned to soup, too.

ETA: Thank you star_invention for reminding me of my other favorites:
Miso (with tofu and rice or noodles to make a full meal)
Chicken soup with matzoh balls
Creamy tomato
Various kinds of mushroom
