300 Sensational Soups [Paperback]

Carla Snyder (Author), Meredith Deeds (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 10, 2008

The definitive collection of recipes for soup lovers everywhere.

A good soup nourishes the heart as well the stomach, spreading a feeling of satisfaction and contentment. Hot soup is warming on a winter day, while cold soup is just as welcome in the heat of summer.

From comforting creamy chicken and rice soup to refreshing gazpacho, 300 Sensational Soups offers something for every season, mood and occasion. There are 50 international soups, including Vietnamese pho, Italian wedding soup, and Middle Eastern harira. Soups from the sea include such favorites as snapper in Asian broth with habañero and shrimp, and shrimp and pea soup with lemongrass. Each recipe also includes tips and techniques along with garnishing ideas. As well, there are many creative variations and serving suggestions.

There is also the Just (Soup) Desserts chapter, which features 20 dessert soups, including coconut soup with mango fritters, chocolate soup with brownie croutons, and chilled cherry soup with crème anglaise swirl.

With 300 recipes to choose from, ranging from everyday fare to elegant dishes for entertaining, 300 Sensational Soups offers home chefs a perfect bowl of soup every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Great Cookbook!, December 30, 2008

By 

Barbara (Aurora, Oh) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 300 Sensational Soups (Paperback)

I LOVE this book!!! I purchased it and had made several of the recipes when, to my delight, I watched Sara Moulton on Good Morning America choose it as one of the 10 best cookbooks of 2008. I could not agree more and admire Sara Moulton very much for finding this book among all of the books out there. These authors have written several cookbooks and I always look for new ones from them. I have never been disappointed by them. I highly recommend the Middle Eastern Lentil Soup with Garlic, which I served my family last night. I have also tried a more "comfort food" style by making the Pennsylvania Dutch Chicken-Corn Soup with Tiny Dumplings. To date I have prepared about half a dozen of the recipes and my family are all big fans. I am very much looking forward to their next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars soups for every season, December 29, 2008

This review is from: 300 Sensational Soups (Paperback)

When food editor Sara Molton of Good Morning America did a segment called, "The Best Cookbooks for 2008", she selected and led off with "300 Sensational Soups," and said it was her favorite. I have to agree. This cook book is fantastic. There are soups for every season, even dessert soups! We have potlucks just about every month where I work, and without fail I make something from this book to bring. It's always a hit. Soups range from hearty to light, again depending on the time of year. Cold to warm, and if your feeling adventurous, there's a whole section of soups from around the world.

Whatever I'm in the mood for, or the occasion, this soup book has it. You can't get a better recommendations then one from Sara Molton, but I sure hope you also take one from an all American housewife like me.

Talking about this cookbook is making me hungry, I think I'll go make some soup.

I received this book as a gift, and made one of the recipes for company the night before Thanksgiving. The recipe was easy to follow, and everyone really loved it. Huge success. Nice selection and variety of soups in this book. I have several more recipes earmarked to try. If you like soup, I would highly recommend this book.
