Book Description

September 27, 2011
Lynn Alley is the queen of the slow cooker, with three hugely successful books on the subject.

Lynn Alley, author of The Gourmet Slow Cooker, is famous for creating flavorful homemade meals using the kitchen's most coveted countertop appliance--the slow cooker. Inside 50 Simple Soups for the Slow Cooker, Alley presents bold combinations for 50 new vegetarian and vegan soup dishes that are as hearty as they are flavorful. A few classics such as Ribollita and French Onion mingle with many unique offerings, including Swedish Rhubarb Raspberry Soup, Garnet Yam Soup with Coconut Cream, and Eggplant Soup with Cumin, Yogurt, and Dill.

There are 15 mouthwatering photographs of steamy, slow cooked, spoon-to-mouth goodness. A concealed wire-o format ensures ease of use with lay-flat binding and effortless page turns, while the book's 6 1/2 by 6 1/2-inch trim size makes it a handy resource in the kitchen as well as a perfect gift for on-the-go families.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Collection of Recipes September 27, 2011
Format:Hardcover-spiral
I love soup and this little cookbook is full of recipes that I will actually make. The recipes are vegetarian (not vegan since cheese and other dairy foods are used) but meat can easily be added if desired.

I made the Potato, Broccoli, and Cheese Soup and enjoyed it. Other soups I look forward to trying include the Cream of Artichoke, Cuban Black Bean and Sweet Potato, Enchilada, Tuscan White Bean with Olive Oil and Rosemary, and Curried Butternut Squash soups. A few use coconut milk and I'm curious about how those will taste as well. There are also some dessert type soups such as Swedish Rhubarb Raspberry and Spiced Apple Pie. I like the convenience of crock pot cooking and the recipes can easily be doubled or tripled to make extra for the freezer.

The recipes are simple so beginners will enjoy them as will more experienced cooks. They include a variety of international flavors and use ingredients easily found in larger grocery stores, and most have color photos which is always a plus. The spiral bound format makes it lay open nicely while in use.

I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher but the opinion of it is my own and was not solicited, nor was a positive review required.

5.0 out of 5 stars EASY TO PREPARE COMFORT FOOD October 2, 2011
Format:Hardcover-spiral
Have to admit that I'm inordinately fond of subject cookbooks - that is a cookbook focusing on a specific dish such as a dessert cookbook, a salad cookbook or as in this case a soup cookbook. I really like the idea of not having to pore through my cookbook collection if I'm looking for a chicken or vegetable dish, but love to have one book to which I can immediately turn. So, when I saw this soup collection I was delighted and then near cheering when I noted that all the soups are prepared in slow cookers. Many thanks to Lynn Alley for these tempting recipes all in one book!

50 Simple Soups for the Slow Cooker is full of not only recipes but also helpful hints to make preparation easier and quicker - aren't we all on speed dial at mealtime? These are vegetarian/vegan recipes and as tasty as they come! How about Sliced Apple Pie Soup brimming with Granny Smith apples and flavored with cinnamon, cloves and honey? Yes, cool weather is almost upon us, and nothing tastes better on a chilly day than a warm bowl of soup.

It's impossible to pick a favorite from this tasty assortment but do have to give a high five to the Black Bean Chili with Cornbread Crust and the Enchilada Soup.

The book is spiral bound so that it lies flat and the pages are glossy, easily wiped in case there's a drip or two.

So happy to add this book to my collection!

Disappointing variety of soups choices. Need to cook some of the recipes before putting them in the crock pot, so what is the point of the easy, slow cooking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shouldn't the title of the book mention that all 50 recipes are...
I did know that before I ordered the book, since I decided that any of the soups could be made with stock instead of just water; but some people might not see it that way. Read more
