Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Weeknight chicken noodle soup

    • Liz_Young on November 07, 2025

      Straightforward and tasty. I used rice instead of noodles, and pre-cooked chicken. This is a lighter soup, was not a meal on its own. I will make this again.

  • Tortilla soup

    • tmitra on February 16, 2024

      This is the first recipe I've made from this book, and I'm disappointed. The balance of flavors feels off (including a complete lack of heat), and I haven't been able to fix it to my satisfaction. To top it off (ha), the baked tortilla strips didn't work for me; some are barely browned, most are burnt, and none are golden. 425 seems too high.

  • Mexican-style chicken and chickpea soup

    • cottonmama on January 18, 2022

      This is in my regular rotation. A hearty and fresh, flavorful soup.

  • Spicy Moroccan-style lamb and lentil soup (Harira)

    • IndyGirl on October 26, 2019

      1. I didn’t use oil for the harissa. Just tossed the spices sans garlic at the end. 2. Used lamb stew meat. If using lamb stew meat, add the lamb later so it doesn’t get tough. 3. Used spray oil to brown the lamb, next time use oil if browning lamb stew meat. Perhaps shoulder meat won’t need oil. 4. Used red lentils since I didn’t have green lentils. 5. Use white or yellow onion and cut fine. Red onion didn’t disintegrate. 6. Use fresh tomatoes, or 1 pound canned tomatoes. Don’t add extra tomatoes.

  • Provençal vegetable soup (Soupe au pistou)

    • cottonmama on January 18, 2022

      Probably my all-time favorite soup; I make it over and over, and it never fails to disappoint. Almost all the flavor comes from the pistou, so don't skip it. I do prefer this with vegetable stock instead of water.

  • Farmhouse vegetable and barley soup

    • Liz_Young on October 24, 2023

      Lots of veggies to chop! Makes a huge pot of soup, very hearty. When having as leftovers, I added browned chorizo sausage, which was a big hit with DH. Suggest added meat of some kind - like ground or sliced sausage.

  • Country-style potato-leek soup

    • Liz_Young on March 10, 2024

      This was very good, buttery flavor, and very filling. Pretty easy to make. 4 large servings

  • Country-style potato-leek soup with white beans

    • PickyPalateMom on April 17, 2024

      Five stars. Bought a very large bunch of leeks for cheap. Also added a handful of baby carrots chopped in coins (max a cup worth) and sautéed with the leeks. Did the cannelini bean version; used the bean liquid in the soup. Also added half a packet of frozen chopped spinach for the last 10 minutes of boiling. Another really good decision. This was DELICIOUS. Such a hearty lunch on a blustery rainy spring day.

  • Hearty cabbage soup

    • cottonmama on January 18, 2022

      Tasty, especially with the sour cream stirred in. But not really satisfying on its own -- try it with some browned kielbasa or chicken sausage mixed in or with a bowl of beans on the side.

    • Liz_Young on June 27, 2023

      Caraway seeds added a nice flavor

  • Great carrot-ginger soup

    • joyous on March 15, 2017

      Really great carrot and ginger flavor. I would definitely make this again.

  • Creamless creamy tomato soup

    • KCKB on January 23, 2025

      Very tasty! I puréed all of the soup with an immersion blender and skipped the brandy.

  • Sweet potato soup

    • hillsboroks on March 12, 2020

      This recipe was good but not great mainly because I used a couple of yellow sweet potatoes instead of red yams. But I needed to use up the sweet potatoes and this sounded good. I made a 1/2 batch following all directions exactly except for the seasoning. At that point I realized I needed to do something to punch up the flavor and ended up tripling the brown sugar and vinegar plus adding a generous amount of fresh ground pepper. It was beginning to taste better but what really helped stirring a half teaspoon of yellow miso in each bowl at the table. I had seen other sweet potato soup recipes with miso in them so I set the miso on the table and let everyone decide for themselves. I thought with the added miso the soup could have been bumped up to 5 stars. I will try it again with the yams.

  • Broccoli-cheese soup

    • cottonmama on January 18, 2022

      My husband and I really like this, but the kids don't care for it. We think they're crazy -- it's so good!

  • Hearty minestrone

    • Liz_Young on October 07, 2024

      This is really good. The parmesan rind in the bean broth really makes a difference. Next time, I would start the bean pot at the same time that I start the vegetable pot.

  • Tuscan white bean soup

    • Liz_Young on January 16, 2024

      This was good, had a very mild flavor.

  • Black bean soup

    • Liz_Young on January 06, 2025

      This was very tasty, very hearty. Garnishments really add to the flavor, especially the cilantro. Even better the second day.
