Debanox: A surfeit of soups with a soupçon of sandwiches and salads to go with. The only problem with this cookbook is the generosity of the recipes — from 8-16 one and one half cup servings per recipe. Great for large families and parties; less useful if you’re in a one or two person household. The recipes are not easily reduced but are rich with flavors in balance. So gather friends and family and try a new soup!

OneCoffeePleaseOneCoffeePlease: In my household, soup making is my department. This book is perfect for any serious soup maker. After you read the introductory comments you will know that a great deal of heart and soul went into this book. The harmony of such a concerted effort really touched my heart.

And then there is “Stone Soup”… for years I have told that story to my family. It is one of my favorite stories to mention whenever I make soup from whatever ingredients we happen to have on hand. I began making such soups when I was about 12 years old… sigh, decades ago.

I must quote from the author’s introduction because I found it to be so endearing, partly because I bought my daughter the story of Stone Soup as a toddler (she is an adult now and she keeps it still among her favorite books):

“My earliest soup memory took place in kindergarten when we were reading Stone Soup. This is a tale about a hungry traveler who comes to a village and announces that he can make soup from a stone. He puts a stone in a pot of water and then asks the villagers to bring ingredients to help the soup along. One person brings an onion, another a carrot, and so on until the soup is made. After we...

Terri Martin: I received this book a year or so ago after pining over it from the many reviews I had read.
I’ve also read the poor reviews, but at least some of the poor reviews I read weren’t necessarily about the recipes themselves, more about the book: someone’s book had a sticky label on it? Someone else seemed to have ordered the kindle version vs. the hard copy? Someone else didn’t like the fact that the homemade chicken stock also called for a little chicken bouillon and that is what stopped them from proceeding forward? Really? Read all the reviews for yourself but be wary of the lesser star reviews and why.
The first soup I made was the Greek Lemon Orzo Chicken. Crowd pleaser, everyone loved it, great on a summer night, easy, delicious. Then I made the Tortilla and Butternut Squash Soup. Absolutely excellent. Whoever mentioned in their review that this soup wasn’t good and they just ended up with soggy chips missed the part in the recipe where it says to purée the soup using a hand blender or work in batches with a regular blender. The puréed soup is fantastic, I have made this several times, and people go back for seconds.
To the person who complained that there...

Lisa heslop: This book has many very tasty new recipes, such as pumpkin, lobster and ginger soup, Veal and Portobello Mushroom Stew and Curried Mussel Bisque - as well as the best Classic Lobster Bisque and chowders I have tried. Everything I have tried has been wonderful. Highly recommend this to anyone interested in expanding their soup repertoire.

BritChick: Really delicious soup recipes here! My favorite so far has been Mulligatawny but there are so many to choose from I intend to work my way through each recipe:) Everything is easily accessible no hard to find spices, etc. Also very easy to follow - it won't be gathering dust on my kitchen shelves!

Kevin Humphrey: So many delicious sounding recipes in this book. I've only had the opportunity to make a handful of soups so far but it makes excellent reading. The hardest part is deciding which one to try next!!

Even has a few non-soup recipe's towards the back of the book. Great photos throughout.

Barbara: This book met my expectations. I read many reviews of soup books before I chose this one. I wanted a book of interesting soups that I could make on a daily/weekly basis using ingredients that I would most likely already have on hand. I'm very pleased with this book.

It starts off covering making stock and then it follows with chapters by topic. For instance Tomato Teasers, Say Cheese Please, A Chicken in Every Pot, Under the Sea, Championship Chowders, Old World Flavours, and so on. I've found this arrangement makes it easier for me to choose a recipe based on what I have on hand.

I made the Carribean Chicken Soup with Coconut and just loved it. I am no chef (I like to eat not cook) but making this delicious soup was super easy. Next I want to try Indonesian Carrot, the Spicy Chickpea & Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato & Corn Chowder. I want to put post-its on every page to try them all.

Most of the recipes are on two pages, the first showing a large photo and the second the actual recipe. Ingredients are laid out for a quick read and not too much text in the instructions. The beginning of most recipes have a brief paragraph or a couple sentences to...
