Like almost everyone else these days, I'm trying to eat right and stay healty. Thanks to this great book, I'm finding it easier to cook low fat meals. This book offers over 1000 low fat soup and stew recipes such as, chowders, different chilis, vegetarian soups, soups made out of fruit, seafood chowder, and my favorite chicken stew. Aside from the american recipes, this book contains popular recipes from countries such as, Asia, the Caribbean, Africa and Europe. The recipes are very detailed and easy to follow. For good tasting and healthy soup recipes, this is definately the book!

When I want a quick dinner, or hearty and easy lunch, I pick up this book and wow! How can you miss with over a thousand ideas? The recipes are easy and delicious, and I really appreciate that they are low-fat. I've made several in the slow cooker -- put the ingredients in in the morning, and after work, a delicious hot meal is waiting for me, fragrantly steaming in the kitchen.

Even if the recipes weren't low-fat, I would still enthusiastically recommend this cookbook. I have yet to try a recipe out of this cookbook that hasn't been a breeze to prepare and also tastes wonderful.

Who cares if it is low-fat? It won't occur to you as you try the various soups and stews. Simply enjoy it for the delicious meal that it truly is.

I love making soups and stews particularly in the cooler months. This book holds such a variety of soup options I can always find something to make..matching ingredients on hand and my mood. The layout of the book from the way it lists the ingredients to the simple instructions for making the recipe (you do not read endless instructions) make it a joy to use. I have ordered it several times for friends.
