My husband and I are not vegetarians but we love the soups from this book. The Tomato Lentil Soup is downright addictive and we always lose a few pounds when we eat it; what could be better than that?

The table of contents includes: Basic Principles of Soupmaking; equipment, seasonings, herbs and spices, special food items, washing, soaking, and cleaning, The Great Soup Rescue, Miscellaneous Tips and Suggestions and The Soups. I loved the definitions and explanations about the seasonings and the herbs and spices used, some of which I had never used before but can all be easily obtained, even at my small town supermarket.

From classics like French Onion and Split Pea Soup to more unusual title's such as Mom's Macaroni and Cheese Soup, Pumpkin Pie Soup or Tamale Soup you simply can't go wrong. These soups are a great way to incorporate a larger variety of vegetables, beans and grains into your diet and I highly recommend this book.

I have used this book for about 15 years, have made most of the receipes, was going to copy off some to send to granddaughter who is wanting to be a chef and thought I'd try Amazon to see if book was still available. So glad it is. Love these receipes.

.....then make soup from this fine cookbook. Every recipe is amazing and delicious, there's not a miss in the bunch! Her use of herbs gives extrordinary flavors, giving new life to old-favorites, and creating new favorites for your repitoire. I've been using it for years and have never tired of it. Get this book immediately, do not wait another minute!

I know the folks who made these soups and I've tasted almost all of them and they are so yummy and so filled with love and goodness! You will enjoy feeding your family and your self these delectable delights from the founders and followers of Follow Your Heart. Enjoy to your heart's content!! And when in Canoga Park, CA go there and try some from their kitchen, they are renowned for their soups!

Great book! I have made the Chili-Style Lentil soup for diehard carnivores and they LOVED it!! Couldn't believe it was meat-free. All the Corn Chowders are good too.

Best soup cookbook ever! I was so surprised I found this on Amazon. I had lost mine and was sure that it wouldnt be available anywhere. Glad I found it so easily! Ordering was easy and shipping was super fast! Thanks!

So, the one person that rated this cookbook with one star spelled vegetarian "vegatarian." Clearly not someone you should listen to! This book is AWESOME! I am one of your typical poor college students, and this book caters to my budget and my vegan diet. My roommate, a non-vegan, BEGS me to make the tamale soup. Best soup you will ever eat! My mom gave me this book; she purchased it when it came out in the 80's, and she has written stars by several recipes like Spencer's Chili and Dear Aunt Lily's Lima Bean. I cannot wait to cook those, but tomorrow's project is Unstuffed Bell Pepper.
Seriously, people, this book is getting me through college financially and physically healthy. Even if you're not on a budget, YOU WILL LOVE IT.

If you love to make your own soup, you want this book, if you love excellent tasting soup, you want this book. Easy to follow recipes, excellent tasting soups, you cannot go wrong purchasing this book. These soups can be eaten all year round. This Soup Cook Book makes an excellent gift.

I was so disappointed in this book I had to write a review. I am a vegetarian who is slowly eating more vegan foods. This book is not for me. At least half of the recipes have cream, butter, cream cheese or other dairy. Because of this there are not very many healthy choices.
If you are trying to keep your diet as healthy as possible, this book is not for you. Also, too many of the soups have lots of potatoes listed. I am looking for more beans, peas and legumes along with lots of vegetables.
This could be a cookbook from the 1960's when cholesterol was not a concern. My mistake was ordering one from the early 1980's.

BR>It is truly a classic cookbook with nothing but great tasting, wholsome soups.
This wonderful book also includes many tips on how to make soup.
