Delicious Soups

My wife loves soups and I bought this for her for Christmas. I didn't know how it would be but thought we'd give it a try. She's since made 3 soups and they've all been FANTASTIC! Ironically, the first two soups she made were ones I thought I'd hate - Italian Pea and Basil Soup (I hated the canned pea soup my parents served as a child) and Creamy Beet Soup (I also hated beets as a child) but both were absolutely delicious. And... the soups taste so fresh when you prepare them. She just made the Roasted Root Vegetable Soup which was also fantastic. Now she makes a big batch of soup each weekend and we eat it during the week as well. Many of the soups are vegetarian (I'm not one) which makes them very healthy. I highly recommend this book.

A must for soup lovers!

One of my favorite cookbooks. From the Publisher This lavishly illustrated volume is the ultimate guide to soup-making, with mouthwatering recipes from around the world. A mixture of traditional classics and exciting new ideas, there is something for every taste, diet and occasion, from hearty one-pot meals to elegant entertaining. The book opens with an essential guide to soup ingredients, flavorings, techniques and equipment. This is followed by instructions for making your own basic stocks, thickening soups and making creative garnishes. The recipe section has easy-to-follow step by-step instructions and photographs, with a glorious picture of each finished dish. The soups are divided into chapters according to their style and ingredients: chilled, light and refreshing, hot and spicy, creamy vegetable, chunky vegetable, winter warming, legume, pasta, noodle, tofu, chicken and duck, meat, fish, shellfish, egg and cheese, traditional country soups, one-pot meals and soups for entertaining. Great soup recipes from around the world include Avgolemono and Bouillabaise from the Mediterranean, Irish Brotchan Foltchep and Scotch Broth from the British Isles, Thai classics such as Cellophane Noodle Soup and Chiang Mai Noodle Soup, chilled Spanish Gazpacho and fiery Malaysian Laksa Lemak.
