Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryNo, there is no chicken stock in this soup. What you'll find here is page after glorious page of the loveliest, most delicious soups and stews - each and every one entirely vegetarian. Brimming with international flavors, Paulette Mitchell's easy-to-follow recipes are paired with unique accompaniments, garnishes, and toppings that add tremendous visual appeal. Witness hearty Pumpkin Stew baked and served in a pumpkin shell; classic onion soup updated with crunchy goat cheese toasts; and Spicy Sweet Potato-Ancho Bisque swirled with bright Roasted Red Pepper Cream. From Mediterranean Saffron Stew to Greek Spinach and Orzo Soup, these colorful dishes are simple enough for every day, yet sophisticated enough for elegant dinner parties. Instructions for making tasty vegetable stock from scratch, a selection of delicious vegan soups, and a helpful "tips" section make this gorgeous cookbook an important addition to any kitchen where good food and good health are on the menu. |

Not for vegetarians only
Rating:
I am not a vegetarian, although I probably eat a lot less red meat than most people. My review is aimed at those who are not vegetarian and wondering if they should get this book.
If you love good soups, the answer is unambiguously "YES!"
The recipes I've tried so far have been excellent; very interesting and very flavorful. I honestly didn't even notice that it lacked meat.
The Acorn Squash and Fava Bean Stew recipe so far is my favorite. It's pretty amazing how well the different ingredients interact with each other, especially the chard which I've never cooked with before. And the fava beans give you the protein you need to cover for the lack of meat.
Since it's getting into the cold time of year, when soups are just glorious, I love to make batches of soup, freeze the leftovers, and then throughout the work week reheat for a hearty flavorful and warm comfort food. If that sounds like you and you'd like to try some different and tasty soup recipes, this is your book.
Favorite cookbook
Rating:
This is my new favorite cookbook. I've had it about a month and now my weekly shopping is 90% based on these recipes. I think other reviews have covered all the salient points: nicely formatted, unusual and delicious recipes, beautiful pictures, etc. I can only add that this is the only cookbook I have that I would describe as fun. Get a squeeze bottle for this one - it's going to be crazy!

Tasty and Different
Rating:
Every recipe I have made from this cookbook has come out beautiful. Not only do the recipes create great flavor, but they are different from any other source of soup recipes that I have found. The author has a talent for combining ingredients to create a vibrant taste to the senses.
A Truly Lovely Addition to your Cookbook Collection with a minor exception.
Rating:
I love this book. Not just for the recipes but for the clean design and beautiful photographs. Everything about this book makes you want to use it over and over.
I do have one word of caution. Her miso soup recipe calls for you to boil the miso. She makes an effort to explain how beneficial miso is for your health but unfortunately, boiling miso destroys all of the good enzymes.
Add it at the end by turning off the heat, mix in your miso, and wait a few minutes before serving. Heat activates the enzymes but, again, boiling will destroy them.
Aside from this small detail, it is one of my favorites amoung my vast collection of cookbooks.
