Love Soup: 160 All-New Vegetarian Recipes From The Author Of The Vegetarian Epicure (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Anna Thomas is my favorite cookbook writer. I have all of her cookbooks, but this one, by far is my favorite. I am primarily a baker, but soup is my favorite thing to cook, so when I saw that Anna Thomas wrote a soup cookbook, I just had to have it. There are so many recipes and I have only tried a handful, but they have been really great and so flavorful/filling. My favorite is the Green Soup recipe (and all its variations). I tend to keep Green Soup on hand for a quick, healthy lunch. I'm marking this "read" but a more appropriate status would be "constantly referenced" as it is second only to Joy of Cooking on my go to list of cookbooks! I'm not a vegetarian and as such I assert that this cookbook has wide appeal. The recipes are arranged seasonally, offering cooks' insight into excellent use of fresh seasonal ingredients. Beyond that this book offers two large "plusses"First - its a delightful read. The authors love of food, sharing her creations with those she loves and the growth and autonomy of her reader make for an engaging and informative read. Second - this is ridiculously good food. If you're not fond of soup or can't imagine a meatless main dish, suspend disbelief and try it Thompson's way. You might just end up with a bowl of lentils teaming with sweet winter root veggies and a bright splash of herbal flavors that fills your belly and dances on your tongue. ENJOY!
