The definitive guide to one of the world’s most popular dishes.

Marguerite Patten draws on her years of experience to bring together recipes for one of the great comfort foods: soup. Hot soups are warming in cold weather and cold soups are refreshing in the heat. Soup can also be made from every kind of ingredient. This guide contains recipes for every occasion and soups from around the world—from vichyssoise and minestrone to hot and sour—and covers all the information you need to make soups of perfect flavor and consistency, including stocks which are the secret of many good soups.

Wide variety of soups

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 29, 2019

I especially liked the detailed instructions on making various stocks. They are very clear, and do-able. They do not have directions for canning, but pressure canning should work for all of them. (NOT hat-water-bath, though!)

And once you have some good stocks- there are so many options! All of them have variations, too, to help one tweak the recipes to one's taste, or what one has available.

There's even advice on freezing for each recipe- yes, no, or it depends.

Now, I do NOT favor the way the author suggests using a bouillon cube instead of homemade stock, or commercial broths- or even some of the broth concentrates which have a lot less salt than the cubes. Still, it's easy to ignore that advice!

I look forward to trying many of the recipes (although the Hot and Sour soup one is lacking!).

If you could only have one book about soup - this is the one to have.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 13, 2014

Marguerite Patten is a national treasure. This book is crammed with recipes for every type of soup you could imagine. But more than that, she has explained every technique, how it is done, why it is done in a particular way, and how you can change ingredients in any recipe. She is not averse to suggesting the use of tinned ingredients when you are short of time, and how the microwave can be used in the preparation of some of the soups.
There are soups for all seasons, for family meals and for more formal dinner parties. Vegetarians and vegans will find many of the recipes are ideal for them. Patten also gives lots of ideas for garnishing the soups.

Unlike many of the 'celebrity chef' type cookery books which are so popular these days, there are no carefully 'styled' glossy shots of the soups, - no lifestyle commentary, just a wealth of practical information from someone who really knows her subject and how to convey it.

Great ideas

I needed a basic book that is simple to follow. I could burn a salad on any kitchen. This book is brilliant. So easy to understand and follow. I love it. It's not filled with all fancy stuff so if that's what you want go elsewhere. If you want good solid recipes and instructions for delicious hearty soups then this is for you. It's a great place to start for people like me who really don't manage to do anything right in the kitchen. I've made a couple already and they were delicious. Would definitely recommend this book.

OK but not great

just wanted plain old basic soups, the trouble is I just cannot get all the ingredients here, and I have to have quite plain food, so there
is really only the veg section for me, wish they covered more rather than stuff it full of things no one would ever cook.

Perfectly useful for us, we make qite a lot of soup in the winter time.
We grow out own vegetables so it is a good way of using up surplus veg.
