Soup feeds a person¿s senses and body, so rather than feeling hungry or deprived, we feel good inside and out. To make good soups, says Joanna Pruess, you simply need to love them. This unique collection of seventy recipes includes her favorites, from Mighty Minestrone to Curried Mango Soup with Lobster. Pruess includes tempting garnishes to serve with these delicious creations, such as Parmesan-Black Pepper Wafers and Chili-Crusted Pumpkin Seeds, as well as a chapter of basic stock recipes, including suggestions on how to improve store-bought products. A variety of ingredient options makes these recipes easily adaptable to any diet plan.Novices and accomplished cooks alike will find these recipes easy and satisfying. Few foods can claim to be elegant and rustic, hearty and delicate, delicious when served hot or cold, as a first course or whole meal, or even as dessert. Winter or summer, any season of the year is soup time. And, happily, there are very few ¿nös¿ in the process.So have some soup. It¿s good for you!
