Book Description
Since they first began making delicious, homemade-quality soups using only fresh, natural ingredients, the New Covent Garden Food Company has continued to create ever more innovative and tasty recipes. Now, a few years on and with hundreds of recipes at their fingertips, they have decided to share their all-time favourites with you in this definitive collection. Soup is generally easy to make and a great way to use up leftovers, but it can also be exotic and sophisticated, and A Soup for Every Day is packed with ideas for whatever the occasion demands. With a recipe for each day of the year, carefully chosen according to what's in season, you'll find tons of inspiration to create a healthy, nutritious meal for all the family, an impressive dish for a dinner party or comfort food for a cold winter's afternoon. With all sorts of delicious concoctions – from Butternut Squash and Goat's Cheese to Pea and Ham, and from Moroccan Lamb and Chickpea to Carrot and Coriander – this wonderful book contains all the recipes any soup lover will ever need.

I have all the books in this series and this one is certainly the best. I do not miss the ring binding of the earlier books and prefer the robust binding of this book.
I look forward to working my way through it but I will not stick to the "This is January 25 so the soup is...." approach. The very good index will be well used.
I tried the 'Petit Pois and Watercress' recipe on Sunday. My family is adicted to another menu for Watercress soup which is marginally better and not nearly so pea-flavoured but which takes ages to prepare. This was simple and quick. It went down to a band playing, as a Scottish friend would say. It will be a frequent starter with the other recipe reserved for special occasions when I have time to spare.
Did I say frequent? Possibly not as frequent as I now think. The index is full of mouthwatering suggestions and there are lots of ideas for vegetarians. I know that I will never make them but even the meaty ones sound good.
If you have room for only one book on soup, this is the one to buy.

I've been looking for a decent soup book for ages, one that has good easy to follow soup recipes for the average person on the street and I must say this ticks every box! Such great value for 365 recipes and they follow the seasons so in Oct there are plenty of squash recipes. This book comes VERY highly recommended !!!!!

This is marvellous. They seem to have combined all the recipes they seem to have ever made and detailed how to make them in this book of 365 recipes. Its a bigger book than all the others (well obviously) and they have moved away from the ring bound book style to the more posh book style that so many books now use. Even has gold writing on it. Its easily laid out so recipes are easy to follow. They remain true to the other books and have no photographs of the finished soups..... but then its a soup not a Coq au Vin! Love it. Now to try tomorrows soup today.

I have tried several of these soup recipes and they are very simple to follow and each one has worked wonderfully, very tasty and satisfying soups. The usual favourites are in there like leek and potato/carrot and corriander/broccoli and stilton and well as some more . . . er . . . exotic such as mango orange and ginger/malaysian chicken laska / leek and orange vichysoisse, (I have yet to try any of these!). There is even a chocolate soup!
Some of the ingredients lists are quite long but at the very begining they do say you can often substitute ingredients depending on whats available in your kitchen however with 365 recipes there is bound to be something you can make without straying too far from the recipe.
At the back is a recipe section for making your own stock - a long process so not always possible but nice to know how to use up left over bones from the sunday roast.
This book is an absolute essntial item in any cooks kitchen - I have made many soups prior to owning this and they never turned out quite right - too thin, too thick,too creamy etc. This books helps get quantities just right - that said, they offer a guide as to how many portions each soup makes, be warned they are not very generous. Probably intended as a starter where as i have soup as a main meal (or am just very greedy!).
Buy it, you wont regret it!

I really love this book. Its main selling points are seasonal recipes, easy reference system and uncomplicated recipes.
There are 365 recipes, and each of them is presented corresponding to a specific date, just like in a calendar. So if you fancy having soup any day of the year, just turn to that date (e.g. 1st of July) and you will find a healthy and tasty recipe from seasonal ingredients (e.g. Red Onion and Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup). Great if you just want to have inspiration and randomness added to your diet. If you rather look for soups according to the main ingredients or style (spicy, hot, cold, dessert etc.), there is a handy reference list at the back of the book.
The seasonality of the recipes I think is the best part of the book as it helps you to understand what different vegetables are in season at what time of the year, and also helps you keep to your daily budget, as vegetables are cheapest when in season. So the recipes for January utilise root vegetables, in May asparagus, in October its apples and pumpkins and so on.
As there are so may recipes, the variety is huge. There are meaty soups, vegetarian soups, cold soups, hot soups, spicy soups, traditional soups, you name it! Some of the recipes are really quite inventive, and I would never have thought about combining the ingredients in the same dish (for example Cream of Carrot and Kiwi with Orange Peppers). There are also quite a few dessert soups like Sour Cherry Soup, Chocolate and Rhubarb Swirl, Gooseberry Soup or Strawberry, Cream and Champagne Soup for those who want to try something different for pudding! Most of the recipes are uncomplicated, easy to accomplish, and can be modified if you haven't got all the ingredients, so that's another plus for the book.... Read more ›

I've always been a fan of the Covent Garden soups and after seeing this book at a friend's house, decided I had to get it for myself. Before then, I hadn't even known they published their recipes. The book itself is very attractive and good quality paper. I think one small improvement could have been a sort of ribbon to keep your place because the way the book is bound means it doesn't really lie flat (and forcing it would ruin it). There are no pictures in it, which I usually don't like, but because the recipes are just soups I don't find this a problem at all, I find I don't miss the photos.
The soups themselves are fantastic. They are separated into seasons (via the colour on the page) and most of the recipes do not have long lists of ingredients, which is one of the most important factors to me as I don't have much money and don't want to go spending twenty quid on a soup. If you have basic ingredients in your cupboards, such as onions, garlic, tomato puree and various herbs and spices then you'll often find all you need to buy is a few vegetables. Having said that, if you do want to make something a bit more special, there are also recipes for slightly more complicated dishes, e.g. involving mussels or lobster. There are also some dessert ones that I have yet to try involving chocolate or champagne and there are some unusual recipes such as orange pepper and kiwi and one involving rhubarb. Otherwise there is a good mix of vegetarian, meat, poultry and fish soups. I have recently become vegetarian but still find this book brilliant as most of the recipes can be adapted. Various nationalities are also represented, with Thai, Moroccan, Italian, Scottish and French etc. flavours.... Read more ›
