Editorial Review:

Healthful, practical, and economical, soup as a main course is a natural for the way people eat today. In Soup Suppers, Arthur Schwartz provides everything you need to know to turn a simple soup into a sensational meal.

His chapters are conveniently organized by main ingredient and feature recipes that offer something for everyone. Here are new recipes for soups from around the world as well as favorites from just around the block, all made equally accessible to American cooks and their kitchens. Here you will find everything from simple, homey dishes like Chicken Gumbo, Fresh Tomato Soup, and Chili con Carne to such adventuresome departures from the everyday as Porcini, Potato, and Barley Soup; Thai Shrimp Soup; and Moroccan Harira with Chick-peas.

In addition to the soups themselves, Arthur Schwartz provides recipes for accompaniments--breads, salads, appetizers, and desserts--that make his already hearty soups complete meals. Bruschetta, Popovers, and Walnut Onion Muffins are easy to prepare and delicious on the side of a soup, as are healthy recipes for Celery and Parmesan Salad, Marinated Mushrooms, and String Beans with Garlic and Sesame Oil. There is no better way to end a meal than with Arthur Schwartz's recipes for desserts, including Oatmeal Lace Cookies, Blueberry Apple Crumble, and Swedish Almond Cake.

Presented in the relaxed and friendly manner for which Arthur Schwartz is known, Soup Suppers offers a versatile and satisfying, wholesome and hearty approach to home-cooked meals.

Tasty and Sensible 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

Not only are the soups tasty and inventive; but they are sensible and nutritious. They require little time and ingredients that are neither exotic, nor hard to find. Most recipe books are loaded with expensive ingredients that necessitate driving 20 miles from your home, and that you use only for one particular recipe. I want recipes that use inexpensive stuff I have on hand, or will have no trouble finding. This book meets those requirements. I read cookbooks like other people read novels, and this is the best cookbook I've ever had. Now that he's conquered the soup pot, Joe needs to move on to pastas and more.

Editorial Review:

After seeking out the best soups from family, friends, and restaurants through every region of Italy, award-winning cookbook author Joe Famularo presents 150 enticing, unexpected, exuberantly flavorful recipes. Here are tasty soups for every appetite and every season. Cold-weather comfort is as close as Abruzzi Chickpea and Chestnut Soup. And casual warm-weather lunches and suppers are more tempting with a tureen of Zuppa di Primavera ("soup of springtime"). And for anytime: Five-Fish Soup from Livorno or Garlicky Mussels in Broth.

Great vegan soup recipes 4 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

I have been making a lot of soup as a way to eat healthier and lighter, and this book has been great. I like how it is organized into the four seasons to encourage us to eat seasonally-available foods. I have made about six or seven of the soups, and I would say that the majority of them were quite good. This inexpensive book seems like a great gift for vegetarians/vegans to give to their friends (even omnivores), as this collection of soups will appeal to anyone.

Editorial Review:

In this completely revised and updated edition of a classic collection of vegetarian recipes, Nava Atlas ladles out more than 120 satisfying, imaginative soups and stews. Twenty of the recipes are brand new and, for the first time, all of the entries are totally vegan. The chapters are arranged according to season, allowing chefs to highlight the best from the market with international flair, with soups like fall's Moroccan Lentil & Chickpea Soup and Southwestern Fresh Corn Stew; hearty winter warmers like Brazilian Black Bean Stew and Four-Grain Tomato Soup; the fresh spring flavors of Curried Cashew Vegetable Soup; and summertime no-cook quickies such as a Minted Peach Soup. A section of accompaniments, such as breads and muffins, to make while soups are simmering rounds out this healthy and delicious showcase of the flavor and excitement of seasonal, vegan cooking.

Four and a half, really. Very good if you are a big soup fan. 5 out of 5 stars.
19 of 23 people found this review helpful.

`The Glorious Soups and Stews of Italy' is the first cookbook by culinary journalist, Domenica Marchetti, published by Chronicle Books, the old San Francisco war-horse publisher of trade paperback cookbooks. The biggest problem this book faces is the fact that there are already numerous fine books, including some outstanding titles dedicated to soups. Leading the pack among recent titles is Deborah Madison's `Vegetable Soups from Deborah Madison's Kitchen' and Anne Sheasby's `The Soup Cookbook'. Even more challenging is the glut of great Italian cookbooks.

Before comparing Ms. Marchetti's effort with other books, it is important to point out her strongest feature, which is the fact that her soup recipes are divided into the four seasons, with fifteen recipes per season. Less impressive is the fact that among her 60 featured recipes, only a minority (28) are for soups. The remaining 32 recipes are nominally stews; however, many such as the Stuffed Beef Roll in Tomato Sauce and the Oven Braised Endive look a lot more like casseroles, braises, roasts with sauces, or even frittatas than they do stews.

In comparison to Ms. Marchetti's Italian 28 soup recipes, Michele Scicolone's encyclopedic `1000 Italian Recipes' has 41 soup recipes, all of which are quite certainly soups. Also, the authoritative `Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking' by Marcella Hazan has 35 soup recipes. So, you are not really getting more soup for your dollar in this book if you already own one of these other large Italian recipe cookbooks. Another caveat I have is that while Ms. Marchetti indeed covers virtually all the different varieties of Italian soups, her recipes tend toward her interpretations or variations on classic recipes, rather than the original classics themselves.

I must be clear on the fact that the book contains more than 60 recipes, in that it includes an introductory chapter with seven (7) recipes for broths, sauces, and egg pasta. It also has a chapter of accompaniments with 11 recipes for crostinis, croutons, risotto, polenta, and tarts. So we get 78 recipes with 28 soup recipes for about $20 or $0.25 per recipe. This is getting close to being pricy, so the value of the book depends a lot on how much you like soup, and how big your collection of Italian cookbooks is already.

For this price, the author also gives us 25 pages of instruction on basic kitchen skills that the average experienced home cook can easily skip over with no danger of missing anything important. On the other hand, a novice who reads this may be struck by the irony in Ms. Marchetti's statement that you don't really need many pieces of equipment, after which she reels off 26 classes of equipment needed to make soup, including a few obvious redundancies such as a potato masher and food mill, and a few unnecessary items, such as a garlic press. Her glossary of ingredients is much better, but no better than you can get from a standard text such as Senora Hazan.

All this carping should not take away from the fact that the recipes are all very well done. My principle arguments with them are with the brodo recipes, which add the vegetables in too soon, and the egg pasta recipe that does with a food processor what a good Italian Nonna would do with the classic well method. With these good recipes, organized by season, there is also an organization within season by thinner to thicker soup, which Ms. Marchetti describes in the introduction. My problem with this is that cookbook readers don't read introductions (generally), so it would have been nice to categorize each soup plainly in a header, or in a cross table of contents of soups by type.

This is a decent, respectable book. It's main problem is that it has taken on a field in which there is a lot of stiff competition, and no aspect of the book dazzled me, unlike Ms. Madison's excellent book on Vegetarian soups. If you like the concept behind this book, but your shelves are already sagging with Italian cookbooks, I suggest you try `Twelve Months of Monastery Soups' by Brother Victor-Antoine d'Avila-Latourrette' which has over 120 soups arranged by month.

Ultimately, I think this book is great for all those who really like the seasonal cooking principle, and are always on the lookout for good books based on this idea.

I know the folks who made these soups and I've tasted almost all of them and they are so yummy and so filled with love and goodness! You will enjoy feeding your family and your self these delectable delights from the founders and followers of Follow Your Heart. Enjoy to your heart's content!! And when in Canoga Park, CA go there and try some from their kitchen, they are renowned for their soups!

Unfortunately, this book lacks an index 2 out of 5 stars.
3 of 9 people found this review helpful.

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.

"The Soup Mix Gourmet" puts Rachael Ray&her 30 minute meals to shame. Do you want something simple&delicious? This cookbook is perfect! I've worn out my copy to the point that pages are on the verge of falling out. I've never had the misfortune of making a flop recipe from this book. It's foolproof.

"Ballpark Sausage and Peppers" combines Italian sausages with Lipton Garlic Soup Mix to make recipe magic. It's great for a tailgate/Super Bowl party...or just to enjoy at home. "Hot Browns" are delicious grilled turkey sandwiches,like Welsh Rarebit,topped with Campbell's Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup. I'm not a fan of French cooking,but "Friday Night Bistro Chicken" is tastefully simple with its combination of chicken with condensed French Onion soup. The Pasta with Tomato Basil Salsa&Quickie Farfalle with Mushroom Ragout are yummy quickies to make in the kitchen! I've made almost every soup in the soup section,and they're simply marvelous in their simplicity!

"The Soup Mix Gourmet" makes gourmet everyday,even if you've never gone to the Cordon Bleu for cooking lessons. It shows that homecooking can be as fine as any restaurant.

Editorial Review:

Mainstream short-cut cooking at its best, with 375 recipes that use dry soup mix or canned condensed soup as a key flavor ingredient.
