Editorial Review:

Book DescriptionFew 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

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - 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.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Souperb
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.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A little disappointing
I purchased this based on the reviews and the celebrity chefs who have recipies in the book. It did not live up to my expectations. The pictures are not inspiring and for the most part the soups are a bit out of the ordinary. When I find some time to search for the unusual ingredients then perhaps I will get around the using the book. Would recommdend to people who are into gourmet soups with hard to get ingredients.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good
I enjoyed this book and I think most people will also, especially since it's winter. I love soup and this book does a good job.
