Splendid Soups: Recipes and Master Techniques for Making the World's Best Soups Hardcover – September 22, 2000

Great recipes and delicious! Instructive and easy to understand.

The book arrived as promised early as a matter of fact. It was a used book but it was in very good shape just as the description said. It was a gift for my son He's a budding sous chef at a local soup shopping Cleveland Ohio. He was excited for it and it was exactly what he wanted.

I used to only cook for myself when it was a dire emergency. But after reading the first 2 chapters of the book and perusing through the recepies this book changed my life. I love the recepy for Leek and Potato soup on page 190. The book also gives variations to some if not all its soups so you have an endless commpandium of warm deliciousness for when the days are cold and you need comfort. It also has the added benefit of making the kitchen smell utterly delicious when you're making even some of the most basic recepies. Some of the igredients are kind of rare or require a Whole Foods or a local specialty store, but there are a lot of easy to make soups as well. I also like the binding and craftsmanship of the book you can plop it open on your counter and it will stay open. I can only speak as a beginner, and as such I say this book is awesome.

Found this book at an Air B&B up in colorado high in the mountains. Loved reading it while on the deck while elk were in the yard. Came back home and had to have it. Ive since bought it a few times as gifts for friends.

It was missing the paper cover. Other than that, it is fine.

This is a book that I thought I'd love. I purchased it without much thought to go with several other soup cookbooks that I have. I thought I would freshen up the collection a bit. I really want to like this book but I find that every time I look for a specific recipe it just isn't there. When I'm looking for something new and a little different the flavors are OK. The real power in this book for me is the updated methods for smoothing, thickening and cutting some of the traditional fats. Overall I'd disappointed!

A pretty big fan of soups in general but I was amazed at just how many soups are in this book! All different cultures and flavors. I have been making 2 per week and they all have been great.Easy to read, very detailed and if you are not a professional cook they are still easy to construct. I like the book so much I bought another for a gift for another soup lover. It will be your GO TO book for anything with a broth.

Bought as a friend has used this for years. I have made some things which are great. Mostly there is quite a bit of prep but usually worth it. We live on soups in the winter. Saves cooking weeknights.

I enjoyed reading this book. It is very detailed, easy to read and full of information about every kind of soup and the ingredients needeed. Furthermore it contains a vast number of recipes of different styles and cuisines.

A great book! Very comprehensive and has everything you would ever want to know about soups.

Very good
