A Bowl of Soup

Nourishing, hearty and often easy to whip up, soup is a staple that has true range and appeal to all. Soups are soothing, filling and a great way to use up leftovers or pack in nutrition and vegetables for the perfect bowl of both virtue and comfort. From sensational starters to feel-good main courses, this book contains over 70 recipes for everything from a silky Butternut Squash Soup to a rich Langoustine Bisque. There are soups for every occasion, all of them brimming with flavour. When in need of something good for the soul, look to Chicken Noodle Broth or Chilled Broad Bean, Pea and Mint Soup. For those cold winter afternoons that call for something earthier, Roasted Cream of Tomato Soup with Pesto or French Onion Soup with Gruyere Rarebit are just the ticket. For ultimate nourishment, try Italian Wedding Soup or a classic Minestrone. Dinner parties and special occasions may call for an ocean-based bowl such as Clam Chowder or Prawn Gumbo, whilst those keen for global tastes may lean towards Costa Rican Black Bean Soup, or Korean-style Beef Broth. Occasions that require more indulgent treats can be fulfilled with whipping up Boxing Day Turkey Soup or Lasagne Soup. This book is also complete with recipes for dunkers and dippers, with everything from toasties and sandwiches, to crisp-breads and wraps. Feel-good and tasty, this book is a soup bible no matter the reason or season!
