Fruit soup. Yes, I said fruit soup. Author and former chef David Woods has put together a cookbook devoted totally to the art of making delicious soups from fruit. And one must agree with the statement he states in his introduction, these are one of the stranger culinary treats. Mr. Woods also points out that fruit soups are popular in Northern and Central Europe and are just starting to catch on in the United States. Based on what I see, let's hope so.After looking at some of the recipes I must admit are a few that pique my interest. For instance, The Fire and Ice Melon Soup. Watermelon, cantaloupe, zucchini, honey are all ingredients that one wouldn't first think of when making a soup. But this chilled soup blends these flavors to create a refreshingly good, versatile, and quick dish which can be served as an appetizer, light lunch, or even a dessert.
The book starts with a rundown on the ingredients used in the recipes. There are some exotic fruits used in some of the recipes so this is a nice touch. In addition to two stock recipes to be used as bases for some of the recipes, he also provides several ideas for easy to make croutons for use as a garnish.
Mr. Woods serves up over 90 recipe for fruit soups in his paperback book. Many are chilled soups that appear to be fast to assemble, perfect for summer when everyone is on the go. Who says soup is a cold weather dish? Not David Woods, and he proves it in this excellent, well laid out book.
Editorial Review:
Fruit and cream, perhaps spiked with wine or spices, is a refreshing and different way to end a meal. Even more unusual is a fruit soup for a first course, or even a main one. This book contains fruit based soups, some definitely desserts and others that can be served anytime.
Let you spirit of adventure be your guide.
Fruit soups are good for just about everybody from infants to the elderly.
