The recipes featured include Miami Chilled Avocado Soup, Indian Beef and Berry Soup, Saffron Mussel Soup, Shrimp Bisque, Green Lentil Soup, Cold Cucumber Soup with Walnuts, Roasted Tomato and Pasta Soup, Curried Carrot and Apple Soup, and Salmon Chowder. The Soup Bible features an informative introduction that focuses on the history of soup and soup-making, essential ingredients, tools and utensils needed, and how to create the underlying stock for each type of soup.

A good book for a novice cook 4 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book about 20 years ago, and it has a 1970's appeal to it. The foods remind me of little restaurant you might stumble across and be delighted to find that they serve decent, wholesome food. I especially like the Cheddar Cheese Soup, and they offer some basic salad recipes that one can follow verbatim or use as a springboard for your own creations. This would make a good gift for a novice cook because it offers many familiar recipes that are easy to make.

Legendary chocolate cheesecake. 4 out of 5 stars.

Visited this little restaurant in Middlebury, Vermont many times, many years ago. This cookbook captures the quality and creativity of the Soup Bowl's menu and has been a perennial in my kitchen for close to 25 years. Don't be disappointed by what seems like a small number of recipes, they are all terrific.

Yummy!, Challenging! and Fun! 4 out of 5 stars.

I came by this cookbook by way of a patient giving it away because she no longer cooked. Since I am an avid cook I gladly accepted it. The recipes have an old East Coast flavor. My 2 favorite recipes are: Shaker Chicken and Noodle Soup and Fresh Apple cake with Caramel Frosting which I just finished icing today.

Editorial Review:

Easy and delicious soup, salad, bread, dessert, and drink recipes from the popular restaurant in Vermont.

You will also learn about the basic ingredients you will need to make them and how to cook, season, and serve them, from readying your mise en place to adding a final swirl of cream or sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Basic recipes and key techniques then illustrate dozens of indispensable culinary building blocks, such as how to make stocks or how to dice an onion or carrot with ease.

Skinny Soups, possibly the tastiest, lowcal cookbook ever 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

Skinny Soups by Ruth Glick and Nancy Baggett is possibly the best lowcal cookbook ever written. I love soup and thought the recipes in this book were fabulous. Each soup I made was delicious, spicy and yet very easy to make. I have been making soups each week from this book for the last three months. I have experimented with fish stock for the first time, carrying home a halibut carcus large enough to fill my kitchen sink. Ruth Glick and Nancy Baggett have a award winning cookbook. I am purchasing several copies to give as gifts. I am looking forward to purchasing the entire Skinny Books series. Happy cooking!

SkinnyCook 5 out of 5 stars.

I originally found this book at the library and used it so much that I had to buy my own copy. I use it at least once a week. It is great for adding soup to a sandwich meal or when taking a warm meal to sick people.
These are easy to make if you have a food chopper. Make double of the chopped vegetables and put them in bags in the freezer for fast soup.
I have altered some of the recipes taking out the beans and substituting small pasta instead. The other thing I alter is the recipe for making chicken broth. The American Heart Association has an easier recipe in their book for defatted healthy broth in smaller quantities so it's easier. However, it is very similar to this book.
The spicy North African soup, creamy tomato soup with chunky vegetables, and spinach pasta soup with basil are my favorites.
This is a great book and if you like more than just soup, try the Skinny One-Pot meals book. It is just as easy and tasty.

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!

Unfortunately, this book lacks an index 2 out of 5 stars.

I have owned this book for several years and I have repeatedly attempted to cook from it. Unfortunately, I have never gotten around to it! Although it may be true that the recipes offered are actually great tasting and easy to make and hence deserve a higher rating, the design of this book has a vital flaw that consistently leads me to frustration: There is no index of ingredients. For many cooks this may be a minor annoyance or even no bother at all - for me it renders this book virtually worthless since I generally have a hankering for something (lets say potatoes) and then like to look in the index to see which recipes contain potatoes.

Although the book does have an index that lists all the soups contained within its pages by their respective names, there is no other way to find out which recipes contain the desired ingredient other than to open a page and read the entire recipe.

If such an index is vital for you, you might end up with this book unused on your shelves. If not, based on other reviewers it appears that the recipes should be quite pleasing.
