$4.99

Description

From the front cover and back flap/inside pages: "On a snow-drifted February night we call them 'chill-chasing' and 'rib-sticking.' On the hottest day of July we refer to them as 'refreshing' and 'cooling.' And other times, they're simply 'satisfying' and 'great-tasting.' No matter what the season, this book is filled with dozens of soups to suit your needs. There are soups filled with meat, poultry, fish, seafood, vegetables, cheese, beans, and lentils. There are soups that simmer on the stovetop all day so their flavors blend and build and speedy soups that can be ready in less than an hour (and some in less than 30 minutes!). There are thick and rich bisques and stocky, nourishing chowders. There are zesty chilies with and without beans, ranging from mild to extra-spicy in flavor. There are stews so thick you can eat them with a fork and chilled soups that go hand-in-hand with lazy summer meals. Most of these soups are meant to be the star of your meal, but there are also soups to serve as a taste-tempting opener for a meal and even soups to serve in place of dessert. So reach for your soup kettle and make soup tonight. Then ladle up a bowlful of the ultimate comfort food."
