not sure if it is online...

How are your basic cooking skills? Can you brown some meat in a pan on the stove? Chop some vegetables? Open a can of broth or tomato juice? Pretty basic skills are really all you need, so don't worry, you'll be able to manage something tasty without a huge investment of time or energy. Simmering the soup takes the longest. (If it doesn't I switch recipes.)


Better than Boullion chicken base is actually pretty good stuff. If a recipe calls for chicken stock or broth, use some of that instead.

Take a look on Serious Eats for some inspiration. My own efforts at finding basic soup instruction weren't great but maybe I was using the wrong search terms.


Other potential sources? Alton Brown (though his website is being renovated, lots of his recipes are on foodnetwork.com and youtube.
Ina Garten's basic technique seems to be quite good, but I admit I haven't looked to her for soup ideas.


Websites I browse for inspiration?

America's Test Kitchen has a ton of videos on Youtube. I've been watching them while on the treadmill at the gym where internet access is sporadic. https://www.youtube.com/user/americastestkitchen/search?query=soup+
