Soup Kitchen: The Ultimate Soup Collection from the Ultimate Chefs Including Jill Dupleix, Donna Hay, Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver and Tetsuya

by Annabel Buckingham (Editor), Thomasina Miers (Editor), Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (Foreword)

Few foods rival the feel-good factor of soup, whether a hearty minestrone on a chilly evening, a cooling gazpacho in the heat of summer, or the comforting tomato soup of childhood memory. This rich collection brings together 100 soup recipes from some of Britain's leading chefs and food writers. From Jamie Oliver's Chickpea, Leak and Parmesan Soup, to Rick Stein's Classic Fish Soup with Rouille and Croutons, here are recipes for every mood and meal. And as every culture embraces soup of some kind, the influences at work here are wonderfully varied—Ken Hom's Tomato Ginger Soup, Terence Conran's Borscht, Nobu's Seafood Miso with Chorizo, and Sam and Sam Clark's Chestnut and Chorizo Soup, to name but a few. Soup is surely the ultimate seasonal food, and, reflecting this, the book is organized by time of year, so that ingredients are easy to find and at their full-flavored best.

This is packed full of easy, comforting, healthy soup recipes from so many of my favorite chefs.... I can't wait to get stuck into making so many of these.... I think I will declare January my month of soup making.... :)

This is not an ‘every day’ cookbook apart from 4 or 5 recipes. Most are consommés, French titled soups or have an ingredients list that could feed my family for a week.

Personally, I think the Covent Garden 365 soups cookbook is far better.

Average book and definitely don’t recommend.

A good collection of soups from famous chefs like Jamie Oliver, Donna Hay, Nigella Lawson, Jill Dupleix, Tetsuya, Delia Smith. Most are from the UK--but other International chefs are tucked in. I made Jamie Oliver's Chickpea, Leek & Parmesan Soup which is simple and delicious and have

I've been wanting to read this book for ages because of the fact it has so many recipes from so many famous British chefs and yes, I'm a total Anglophile as well. Interesting assortment of soups, using items I wouldn't normally use in a soup.

I adore soup, and this book is a veritable treasury of innovative recipes. Most of them don't require terribly exotic ingredients, so they can be whipped up at short notice.
