The best soup cookbook ever!

I own over 100 cookbooks, and "Recipes from the Night Kitchen" is by far the best soup cookbook I own. I have made many of the recipes in the book, and every one has been superb! The broccoli/feta/tomato soup and the Harpoon Ale chili are two of my favorites. This makes a great gift for any of your friends that like to make soup.

Practical, Well Tested and Delicious

This is one of the few cook books that answers all questions you have and whose recipies don't require any adjustment. A wonderful addition to the cookbook shelf.

Night Kitchen Soups

One of my absolute favorite cookbooks that I picked up years ago on a clearance bin and until ... could not find again. Plan on buying several copies as gifts as every recipe I have made has been terrific, especially the vegetable ones like the Butternut Squash, Ginger Carrot or Asparagus Taragon. Just made the Mullagatawny with chicken tonight - yum! Recipes handle improvisation really well and they all have a lot of flavor.

Always good results

I first came across this cookbook in a reader's preview version, typos and all. It went on to become my very favorite soup book. The recipes are straight-forward but yield delicious soups with assertive flavors. I don't think I have ever made a bad recipe from this book! Especially good is Spicy Black Bean Soup and Chicken Rosemary Soup. Also the White Gazpacho is different and wonderfully cool for the summer. Give it a try!

All the soup recipes you've ever wanted!

I love this book! I've used so many of the different recipes from warm creamy soups in the winter to cold fruit soups in the summer. I love how practical the book is with it's ingredient list and how easy the soups are to make. Each recipe give suggestions for varying it slightly according to your tastes.
