Book Reviews of The Ultimate Soup Cookbook (Reader's Digest)
Book Review: Fantastic collection of Soup Recipes!
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading the reviews here on Amazon I decided to seek out this book. I very much enjoy a good bowl of soup and I had high hopes that this cookbook would expand my horizons in home-made soup making without breaking the bank or sending me to an exotic foods market. This book has absolutely met my expectations.
The cover states that there are over 900 recipes contained within. This is not just soup recipes, but it also includes recipes for side dishes such as breads and salads. The collection in this section is not huge but there are a lot of good ideas in there.
The chapters break up the book into several logical sections: Stocks/Broths, Cold Soup, Chicken and Turkey, Meat, Chilies, Fish/Seafood, Chowder and Cheese, Vegetable, Beans/Lentils, Noodles/Rice/Barley, and of course the side dishes. There are some overlaps amongst the chapters, but this is to be expected.
Each recipe is short, to the point and simple. Most recipes to not require things that would not normally be in the house, though a few have such fun ingredients as venison and rabbit, which might require a little more effort to obtain. The directions are clear and leave nothing to the imagination.
So, how do the recipes turn out when followed? Every soup I have tried from this book has been a big hit with my family, to the point that I am asked to make double pots of soup so that my wife does not need to cook for a couple of days.
Soup is the ultimate winter-time comfort food. Homemade soup is better tasting and better for you than the canned variety, and with this book you can find recipes to make your favorite soup with minimal fuss and effort. If you are at all interested in making good soups and you buy only one book on the subject, consider making that one book this one.
