![Clean Soups: Simple, Nourishing Recipes for Health and Vitality [A Cookbook]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/810lSQp4WmL._AC_UL165_SR165,165_.jpg)
I grew up in the UK and in the winter my mum would make big pots full of soup so we had a warm and delicious meal when we got home. It was something I loved then and still do now, even though I live in a rather warm spot, and cold winter days are few and far between -I still crave a nice bowl of soup when the hint of fall arrives. However, though I am able to replicate some of those soups -lentil and peas examples, the rest were traditional meat based soups like Oxtail and Cawl (a Welsh soup made with brisket) and as a vegetarian I need more ideas which was why I decided to buy this book.
This book has 100 recipes which is a good start, and every single one of them, a healthy plant based soup. The book begins with a brief look overall at the topic of soup, some principles of creating a super food soup and basics – good fats, seasonings, aromatics, beans, soup composition, and some super food essentials . On the latter it is worth knowing that this is a book that will require you pick up some items at a specialist shop -think medicinal mushrooms, super berries, sea vegetables , seeds , grains -I am sure you can substitute (and there is a cheat sheet at the back) but note recipes feature maca, spirulina powder, dulse, wheatgrass powder. This was the one thing I did not love, for though I have many of these, if you do not, you will spend a pretty penny acquiring them and having been there with other books, it’s a pain!
Then there are useful tips such as cheat sheets on cooking with super foods, cost breakdown, pantry ideas, health benefits, before delving into soups lead by broths – including those for energy, detox, beauty and healing which in a concept I love about this book.
Then we go to chilled soups, which loving in a hot area I loved, and this goes so much more beyond just a traditional gazpacho - I loved the carrot, ginger and cannot wait to try the coconut turmeric. Then we have creamy soups, such as a corn soup or greens soup and a new take on a potato leek soup. Many of these I should note are accompanied by stunning pictures such as the truffled asparagus soup. This is followed by ‘brothy and noodle soups’ with a take on tortilla soup using chia seeds or a miso noodle soup, there is ramen, Pad Thai and some very creative , way out ideas such as green tea soup!
We then go to chowders and porridges,, the kitchari is my absolute favorite as I love this dish and this recipe is simpler than most; then stews and chili, followed by accouterments - garnishes, horseradish cream , pesto or even coconut bacon bits. Followed by a useful guide on sourcing some of these ingredients!
This is a great, creative cookbook, full of super food soups that will keep me warm, happy and healthy all winter!

Literally double printed pages. You can't even read it!
The pages are not in order numerically and they are double printed! You can't even read the book. You would think the woman making these overcomplicated green tea and earl gray soup recipes would at minimum check the print. This book is ridiculous.
