Fancy soup names that don't inspire 2 out of 5 stars.
11 of 12 people found this review helpful.

I am an avid cook who cooks at least once a day - and usually a dish I have never made before. Consequently, I thought that this book would increase the number of recipes to be tried by quite a bit and was very exited to recieve it. Obviously, as my 2 star rating suggests, my expectations were not met - and here is why:

True to the name of the book, Gillespie does include a plethora of recipes - I didn't count them but I'm pretty confident that the number must be 365 or at least close. However, almost none of the recipes sound as though they might actually be delicious. I found them to be rather uninspired and uninspiring and keep thinking that Gillespie sacrificed the idea of good and wholesome soup for being as fancy and innovative as possible. The overabundance of "fancy" soup is rather burdensome when you are simply looking for a straightforward soup. The back-cover for example, lists several recipes that fall into this category - Brandied Strawberry Soup, Chocolate Mint Soup, etc. just don't do it for me.

When I finally managed to locate a recipe that sounded like I would enjoy it, I had to discover that some of the listed ingredients never showed up in the actual recipe - this should have been caught by an editor. The soup, however, turned out quite well once I had figured out when to add the missing igredients.

Unfortunately, there is more: Gillespie likes to included such illustrious items as dried potato buds, dried onions, etc. to his recipes - I would think that cooking involves fresh ingredients when available. While I understand that not everyone can get fresh galangal and that, therefore, it is helpful to used dried galangal in recipes, last time I checked, potatoes and onions were readily available pretty much anywhere.

In addition, several recipes list chicken stock or fish sauce as ingredients (sometimes optional, sometimes as an alternative for a vegetarian item). Personally, if you publish a vegetarian cookbook, I want to see vegetarian ingredients only.

And finally, one recepie had me laughing in disbelief. Gillespie lists a recipe for a "Super Fast Soup.: Now, if you were in the market for a super-fast soup, what would you do? I'd open a can of soup - and so would Gillespie. To make it a real recipe in his book, he suggests adding frozen veggies and water. Wow, I am so glad I have a cookbook to guide me through this difficult process.Unbelievable.

As is now truly obvious, I do not like this book and I will certainly not recommend it. There are much better soup books avaliable and unless you are on a quest to own every single vegetarian soup cook book ever published, I would strongly advise you to stay clear of this book

It's true! This is the greatest soup cookbook there is! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

My mother gave me this great book at my wedding shower in 1996. This past Christmas she said that she would like a good soup cookbook like the one she gave me. I looked at many bookstores but in my opinion none of the soup books could compare to the one she gave me. She is just as picky as I am, and I knew no other soup book would do, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Then I saw on Amazon that it was out of print. I could not believe it! Why would the publisher stop printing such a fabulous book? I recommend you get your copy quick, while they last.

This book contains some of the best meals you'll ever cook! 5 out of 5 stars.

I originally purchased this book because it contained a receipe for a good Manhattan Clam Chowder (not so easy to find). Since I made that chowder over a year ago, I have used almost every receipe in the book at various times over the past 12 months. What culinary joy! What edible bliss! Soups and chowders and stews. Full of flavor and fragrance. Feeds a house full of people visiting us at the beach on a sunny Sunday. Best of all are the "shortcuts" and other culinary tips. What a find! I have tried to order the book for friends, but have found out it is no longer in print. The pain! The agony! I can see it is now completely up to me to feed the summer multitudes from it ... lest these recipes be forgotton. I can't wait to start from the beginning again.

Editorial Review:

The New Covent Garden Food Company was founded in 1988 to make homemade quality soup using entirely natural ingredients, and despite many imitators over the past eighteen years New Covent Garden are still the bestsellers in the fresh soup market. This enduring popularity is a result of New Covent Garden's continuous passion for fresh soup, which they expound as the ultimate, easy-to-make, healthy, delicious meal. Featuring over 100 of the New Covent Garden Soup Company's most popular soup recipes, this kitchen classic is as appealing today as it was when it was first published ten years ago. Repackaged in keeping with New Covent Garden's latest branding, the original "Book of Soups" is being relaunched to coincide with the publication of the new title, "Soup in Season".

Wonderful Series of Books 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I have five books from this series, and they are all uniformly excellent. Whenever I see another one, I immediately buy it without bothering to look inside. Not one of the recipes I've made from these books was a dud, and most of them were exceptional.

The most recent recipe I made from this book is Spicy Chicken and Mushroom Soup, which turned out to be one of the best things I have ever made. Many of these recipes are somewhat exotic, pairing ingredients that you would never think to pair, like watercress and orange, but the results are often spectacular.

The book wanders the world, delivering absolutely-authentic recipes. When a friend called to say his date had cancelled, so instead he was bringing a Moroccan friend, I was quickly able to serve what she enthusiastically claimed was the best Harira she'd ever had.

Sometimes, the author will take an ethnic soup, and greatly modify it, to its eternal benefit. One recipe I was already familiar with -- a Ghanaian recipe for okra and banana soup, gets completely transformed here by the addition of smoked cod.

But don't let me put you off by suggesting that this is a purely exotic cookbook: of the 30-odd recipes I've made, five of them were variations on tomato soup. Since there are 200-odd recipes in the book, there are still eight variations on tomato soup that I have not yet tried.

I have four or five cookbooks that are dedicated only to soup -- this one is my favourite.

Editorial Review:

The pleasures of a hearty, warming bowl of soup can hardly be overstated. Replete with vegetables, beans, grains, or meats, few foods are more gratifying to make -- or easier. Soups require almost no culinary skill, no elaborate equipment. They store well, and most of them taste even better prepared in advance.
Judy Knipe, coauthor of SPA FOOD and NEW SPA FOOD, knows how traditional foods can be transformed into elegant meals that satisfy the way we eat now. In SENSATIONAL SOUPS she has created more than seventy-five truly wonderful soups for every occasion and every palate: vegetable soups, hearty bean soups, fish, meat, and poultry soups, and simple (but delicious) stocks. Here's everything you need to make a meal with soup as the centerpiece: elaborate party fare such as Lemon Lentil Soup and Shrimp Soup with Saffron and Tomatoes; family favorites such as Hearty Beef and Vegetable Soup; and flavorful, low-fat entrees such as Carrot Tarragon Soup.
Whether you're looking for comforting chicken soup to accompany a sandwich or a light supper that will take the chill off a wintry night, you'll find the perfect recipe in SENSATIONAL SOUPS.

Easy one dish meals! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I use this book all the time! The recipes are for 'one dish meals' which are easy to prepare and easy to clean up afterwards. There is every type of casserole from beefy macaroni and chicken pot pie to pork chop casseroles and vegetable dishes. Most recipes can be prepared ahead and refrigerated until cooking time. The book is laid out very well, simple to follow and most ingredients are already available in your kitchen.

Mmm, good! 5 out of 5 stars.

I have tried about half the recipes in this book and am very pleased with the results. This book is laid out very nicely. It is simple to read, easy to follow the recipe and most of the ingredients are already on hand in you kitchen.

Great soups! 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I own most of Jean Pares recipe books and use them all everyday. The recipes can be made with common, everyday ingredients. The books are easy to follow with step by step instruction. The only problem I had with Soups and Sandwiches is that some of the soup recipes use a store bought can of soup as its base. I prefer to cook from scratch.
