5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT EATS IN THIS ONE - VERY USER FRIENDLY FORMAT February 24, 2012

By D. Blankenship HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Soups, stews, chili and like dishes are a favorite in our house and have been for years and we are always on the lookout for new recipes or variations on traditional. I came as a great surprise to both my wife and I that one of the big advantages of owning a Kindle or other reading machine was the availability of even more recipes. We have been collecting cookbooks for fifty years now (At last count we had around 300 books on the subject), so you would think that we would be pretty well fixed...and I suppose we are but I am starting to think that we may be becoming "recipe hoarders," and am thinking maybe we might find ourselves on one of those T.V. shows that are so popular now.

Anyway, we down loaded this wonderful little book and not only did we come across some old favorites, but actually found quite a few new ones to add to our arsenal. Now do take note that there are just the two of us now and since we are getting older, we find that we are actually eating less, if for no other reason than the fact that we are less active than in the past. This is good and this little book is good. It should be noted that most of these recipes are for multiple servings - far more than we could possible eat at one setting. With most of the offerings we have found that placing them in the frig for one or even two days gives us the opportunity to get two meals for the price of one...so to speak. It is also a fact that most soups, stews and Chili is actually better tasting the second day, warmed over. I suppose this is because the flavors blend more as they set.

In this little e-book the author has given us a total of fifty (50) recipes - 23 hot soups, 6 cold soups, 12 chili and 9 stews.... The book has been formatted perfectly for a reading machine and you can go directly from the index to any recipe listed - unlike several other cook books I have down loaded. This is good.

It should be noted that that the dishes presented here are, for the most part, completely "scratch" cooking recipes. There are no mixes and such. (The only variation of this I noted was that the author does specify "Chili seasoning packages." It has been our experience that while many of these premixed packages are good, we have also over the years found some real wretched ones out there. I suppose if you have a premixed pack you like and trust you are okay. We use our own mixings in this area though.

There are really no off the wall ingredients in these recipes and most folks will find them readily available. It should be noted that several (in particular the cold soups) call for the use of a blender or food processer. Many of these recipes do call for multiple ingredients. As an example, the "Best Ever 15 Bean Soup calls for 19 different ingredients (not counting the beans) and actually takes two days to prepare properly. We make a variation of this one (Actually two), but after giving the one presented here, we found that the author's is actually better than ours! Go figure!

Recipes that are "Heart Healthy" have been designated as such with the little heart logo. This is handy.

As stated, we have tried the bean soup and in addition have given the "Loaded Baked Potato Soup, Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup, Cincinnati Beef and Pork Chili and Yummy Split Pea Soup a shot and found all to be excellent. These soups and stews are of they type that, for the most part, be the main dish at a meal.

Another reviewer has listed the entire index (A previous review from this one) and it is quite accurate.

This is a handy little book filled with good eats. It should be noted that neither my wife nor I have ever met a stew or soup recipe that we did not "tinker" with just a bit and these recipes allow you to do that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some Intriguing Recipes January 31, 2012

By Marg Ruttan

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Some of the recipes in this book are really intriguing...things like Cheese Beer Soup, for exampe. It sounds really interesting and I plan to make some soon just to see how it turns out and what it tastes like. Then there are the old standbys like Chicken Noodle and Potato Soup. I especially like the souond of the Chilled Strawberry Soup and think it would be a wonderful dish to serve on a hot summer's day.

This cookbook has a great combination of both old and new recipes and something of interest for everyone. I highly recommend it.

Yum Yum in my tum is what my son said after eating Loaded Baked Potato Soup lol - Seriously nice recipes for making soups, stews and my hubby's favorite Chilly! My fav so far is the extra sharp broccoli cheddar soup and I'm going to try the chilled strawberry soup out next. Recipes all look fairly easy and use basic ingredients which is always good.

It is cold and I love soup and beef stew when it is. I particularly like her recipe for Hearty Vegetable Beef Soup and one of my All-Time favorites is Loaded Baked Potato Soup any time of the year. My Mom always makes a traditional New Year's Day meal so this one caught my eye too - The New Year's Day Black Eyed Pea Soup - sounds delicious! And you certainly can't go wrong with Old-Fashioned Beef Stew and the Chili Recipes sounds absolutely wonderful! Made me hungry just to read this! Get this one!

I'm always on the lookout for good soup recipes as I love soup. Even though I eat primarily vegetarian, I still found plent of recipes that I could try and several that I can adapt. It was intriguing to see she included cold soups...I'm interested in trying the Elegant Avocado Cream Soup.

OMG I am glad I grabbed this book. It has a delicious chix wild rice soup recipe and I cant wait to try it, I LOVE the stuff. I am also a chili lover but have been making the same old same old chili recipe for years and my mouth is watering reading some of these chili recipes. ITS MAKING ME HUNGRY. I also like the way the recipes are laid out, simple to read and understand for a goof ball like me. Tomorrow is grocery day so I will be playing chef tomorrow night.

Wow, this is a really great book on one of my favorite meals, especially during the winter months. The broccoli cheddar soup is crazy good. I am going to try the New Orlean's soup out this weekend. The gumbo is also a winner along with a bottle of Tabasco.
