Soup cookbook

[Nancy]

Can someone refer me to a good soup cookbook?

[Hester]

I love "Soup:Superb Ways with a Classic Dish" by Debra Mayhew. It is really topnotch. While not every single recipe is a winner, it is amazing how many easy, healthy ones are.

Bribe me for my beetroot recipe. LOL

Thanks, Hester, I'll check it out and as for Harvey, how much? But first I need to know what beetroot is. Is it like a red beet by another name?

Got that book, Hester, and it's great. Thanks.

Hello, Nancy.

I have had this book for a number of years...



...and found it to be a valuable resource. Its chapter headings are helpful (Reviving, Exotic, Chilled, Warming...) and they hold an extremely varied choice.

As an added bonus, it has a diary section where you can make short notes against each recipe.

You may need to do some UK ingredient-Googling if you don't know what a beetroot is! :-)

I have just looked up 'red beet' on Google and, yes, they are one and the same thing!!!

Amazon do sell the book in the US and there are other titles by the same company:

A Soup for Every Day: 365 of Our Favourite Recipes

Soup and Beyond: Soups, Beans and Other Things

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_nos...

Having said all of that, I tend to make up my own soups with whatever is available locally AND in season.

Bye!

Thanks for the tip, Ken. I'll look it up on Amazon. Also now I know what beetroot is. And to think we speak (supposedly) the same language :)
