Soups to die for
Rating:
5 / 5
Bought this book in Shipshewanna IN in getting ready for football tailgating. Was the hit of the Saturday soups. The Curried Pumpkin and Cheddar Bisque is to die for -- and I had a lot of people who agreed. Can't wait to try the Garlicky White Bean and my husband's favorite, Scallop & Crab Bisque. Will be looking for more books by Ken Haedrich! Well written, easy to follow, ingredients available and fun to make!
Awesome recipes

I cook often, but I own very few cookbooks. I get tired of buying cookbooks and finding only a few recipes worth making. This book is definitely an exception. Every recipe I've tried has been terrific, and there are so many others I'd like to try, I've decided to give the library back their copy and purchase my own. The biggest plus for me is that the recipes are all very healthy and the menus are well-balanced. Yes, he uses butter and cream in some recipes, but he balances them with amazing whole grain breads and large amounts of vegetables and fruits in the soups as well as the salads. What impresses me the most is that his whole grain breads taste so terrific - you'll wonder why you ever ate white bread! Best of all, the recipes make enough for leftovers, but not so much that you're eating soup all week. Best Bets: the Split Pea soup menu is my favorite - the bread is terrific and the split pea soup is the best I've ever tasted.
All around excellent.

I love to cook, and I have a pretty extensive collection of cookbooks. This one ranks number one for soups and the breads and salads that best complement them. The tips that Haedrich inserts among the recipes are practical and interesting. It's fun to pick up tricks of the trade as you go along. And everyone who buys this book must try the Cream of Jalapeno soup--it is very unusual, and extremely tasty. I can't wait to try some more of Haedrich's books. He really communicates his love for food and its preparation, and makes the time spent cooking fun and rewarding.
