Review:

Soup is one of those versatile foods--you can dress it down for Saturday night in front of the TV or dress it up as an elegant precursor to an unforgettable meal. It can be savory or sweet, hot or cold, a hearty stew or a transparent consomm�. What's more, you can make soup out of almost anything--everything from passion fruit to Jerusalem artichokes. In A Celebration of Soup, Lindsey Bareham applies an eclectic knowledge of her subject to this collection of recipes. Since the proof of a good soup is in its stock, Bareham begins there with a chapter devoted to demystifying the process. She then offers up a section on embellishments, and another describing the different types of soups accompanied by a wealth of recipes. You'll find old favorites such as cream of tomato and new surprises such as curried mango. With A Celebration of Soup on hand, you'll have a soup for every day and every occasion of the year.
