Product Description
Book Description
Few foods make us feel good as soup. From the thick tomato soup of childhood to restorative spicy concoctions on chilly evenings, or a low-fat meal at lunchtime, soup and well-being go hand in hand. Soup Kitchen is a fantastic collection that brings together 100 recipes from top food writers and chefs at work today. From Delia Smith’s Cauliflower Soup with Roquefort to Jamie Oliver’s Chickpea, Leek and Parmesan Soup, there are soups here for every need, whether quick post-work suppers or more sophisticated ideas to serve friends. With a foreword by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Soup Kitchen takes a seasonal approach so you can get the best from fresh ingredients. His introduction is complete with practical advice on stocks, and key soup-making techniques. Along with recipes from some of the world’s finest chefs, this book is full of personality and quirky photography, making the art of soup-making enjoyable and accessible to all. The royalties from the book will go to homeless charities including The Salvation Army and Centrepoint

Finally a book totally devoted to a cheap, nutritious and delcious food. With this book you can eat soups throughout the year with recipes from top chefs. The one that caught my attention straight away was for chocolate soup. The perfect combination of my two favourite foods!

An excellent book on soup.
If you want to make soup, I can't think that you need another book - excellent recipes. The celebrity chef inputs are inspiring and you do get great variety - the soups ranging from the simple to the more recherché. You also get various individual twists on different soups - which seems to prompt you to invent your own twists (normally conditioned by what you have or do not have in your fridge).
The layout is good too, but there is nothing particularly wonderous about the photography. In fact, the pictures which crop up throughout the book of a poorly-maintained allotment in winter are superfluous, irrelevant and mildly depressing. But you don't have to look at them and they don't stop you cooking soups.
A good idea too to set out the soups in seasons. This helps you concentrate on things for which you are likely to find the right ingredients at non-wallet-busting prices and with smaller carbon footprints. And you are probably going to want to cook hearty soups in winter and more refreshing ones in summer.
This is a lot of soup for your money. Heartily recommended.

A good read but rarely used
When I bought this book I was hoping for a book with simple easy to make recipes (soups should be easy I think). Some of the recipes are just too overcomplicated.
