Amazon.com Review
Creamy bisques, fresh vegetable purees, hearty meat-and-potato potages--soup delights one and all. Recognizing its primal appeal, The Culinary Institute of America Book of Soups provides over 100 exemplary recipes for the adored dish as well as detailed technical information all cooks can use. The book concentrates on the whys and hows of soup production; over 50 step-by-step photographs display basic methods for preparing a complete range of soups, from broths and cream soups to bisques, chowders, cold soups, and more. The soups themselves are enticing and include supper specialties like Puree of Split Pea, elegant specialties such as Cantaloupe Soup with Lime Granite, refreshing cold soups like gazpacho, and down-home treats including Cream of Tomato Soup and Seafood Gumbo. Soups from the global kitchen are well represented, too, with recipes for the likes of Thai Hot and Sour Soup and Leblechi, a delicious Tunisian chickpea soup. With recipes for dessert soups--one made with strawberries is particularly pleasing--and for accompaniments like Cheddar Rusks and Sage Dumplings, the book is a completely informative exploration of a dish much loved but too often neglected. --Arthur Boehm

Love this cookbook! December 1, 2008
I am a soup lover and own many soup cookbooks, all others fade in comparison to this cookbook. Every time cool weather comes to south east Texas (which is not often) I break out this cookbook to create some of the best soup my family has tasted, and everytime I open the book I find more great recipes to try. All my favorites are flagged with post-its, Minnesota Wild Rice is rated tops with my family. None of the recipes are complicated and of all the ones tried, we have not come across any disappointments. I actually prefer to cook up large batches of a couple different types of soup when the weather is cold and so far all the recipes freeze well, making the comfort of home cooked soup a breeze even when the weather is close to 100 degrees outside. I highly recommend this book and have even purchased copies for friends and family who keep borrowing my copy after eating some of the delicious soups I made out of this cookbook. My copy is getting well worn and creased down the spine but still holding together after 6 years of use! It is one cookbook that I will definitely replace when my copy falls apart.

I am a pretty good cook and I can prepare very good soups. I bought this book without a lot of expectations. I made one soup: Mushroom - barley; to be honest I was surprised how good it came. It was very simple recipe, but taste was good enough for high rating restaurant.
Soup Book Again November 2, 2007

I purchased this book a few years ago when it was first published. At that time, I let a lady at work borrow it because she really liked to cook soups. She made several recipes and told me how great they were every time. Needless to say, I never got the book back and have since left the company. Recently, I ordered another copy for myself and thus far, have made quite a few of the recipes, which were all great. The book is structured very well, easy to understand, and breaks down the different soup categories; e.g., cream, cold, etc. The photos are also very attractive. This is a Culinary Institute of America cookbook, so we know that it will be a great addition to any cook's library. I have several other books published by them: Vegetables; Grilling; One-dish Meals.
