215 Delicious and Appetizing Classic Soup Recipes for Modern Kitchens (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781936828395)

Food historians tell us the history of soup is probably as old as the history of cooking. The act of combining various ingredients in a large pot to create a nutritious, filling, easily digested, simple to make/serve food was inevitable. This made it the perfect choice for both sedentary and travelling cultures, rich and poor, healthy people and invalids. Soup (and stews, pottages, porridges, gruels, etc.) evolved according to local ingredients and tastes. New England chowder, Spanish gazpacho, Russian borscht, Italian minestrone, French onion, Chinese won ton and Campbell's tomato...are all variations on the same theme. This wonderful volume of over 215 classic soup recipes, from simple to exotic, has stood the test of time and the recipes contained herein have been passed down from generation to generation in both Europe and America. From Broths to Cream Soups, Bisques to Chowders, Purees to Stocks - this book has you covered!
