There is nothing to match the flavor and texture of real homemade soup, and tasty dishes can be cooked to suit all occasions-from cool summer appetizers to hearty and comforting main courses. Anne Sheasby has gathered together more than 200 inspirational recipes, from traditional favorites such as Creamy Tomato Soup, Pumpkin Soup and Chicken Minestrone to exotic variations such as Hungarian Sour Cherry Soup, Seafood Laksa and Vichyssoise. This book describes all of the ingredients you will need for making fabulous soups, including vegetables, meat, fish and pasta, and explains how to make stocks, how to thicken and flavor soups, and how to give dishes that little bit extra with garnishes such as crispy croutons, swirled cream and vegetable julienne strips. A huge repertoire of dishes is covered, including light and refreshing soups, rich and creamy chowders, winter warming consommes, hearty lunch and supper broths, one-pot-meals and special-occasion soups.
