This is my cookbook filled with different soup, stew and chili recipes. Included are different goulash, chowders, gumbos, and bisque recipes. This is a comprehensive cook book filled with easy to make recipes that you and your family will love. These recipes contain vegetarian recipes for those who want to avoid meat. They contain recipes that are very kid and family friendly. Most of these soup and stew recipes can be made in under an hour. This cookbook will teach you how to make delicious chicken, beef or vegetable stocks. If you do not want to put that much effort into it you can always buy stock at the store. These recipes are fresh and homemade, but you always have the option to use shortcuts, like frozen vegetables and stock from the grocery store. Whatever ingredients you decide to use, the final product will far outshine any soup you can get at your grocery store. Not only that, these homemade recipes are much cheaper than what you find in stores. If you are an accomplished chef, or you are just learning to cook, this cookbook is easy to read with precise and easy-to-follow directions.
