Notes about this book

  • bching on January 20, 2025

    I really like this book. The idea, which author Lynn Alley explains in her brief and lucid introduction, is to share recipes for simple vegetarian soups that can be made with a 7-quart slow cooker and an immersion blender. Many recipes also call for aromatics to be sauteed in a skillet --although I think softening them in the microwave is often possible.

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Adzuki bean-miso soup

    • ccav on October 09, 2012

      Very simple but very good, with added bonus of being healthy. Will definitely make again.

  • Black bean soup with tomato, cumin, and coconut milk

    • jhallen on August 12, 2021

      Really easy and delicious.

  • Cauliflower, Stilton, and fines herbes soup

    • ccav on October 01, 2012

      Very easy and tasted great! Used gorgonzola instead of stilton, did not add cheddar.

    • jhallen on October 26, 2022

      This was OK - admittedly, I tried to "veganize" it, so maybe that was just a bad idea.

  • Celery root soup

    • bching on November 12, 2017

      Easy and delicious. I garnished with almonds. Would also be good with mushrooms in the soup or with a mushroom stock.

    • jhallen on August 18, 2021

      Easy and delicious is right. Really good, excited to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

  • Hummus soup with kalamata olives and mint

    • bching on November 27, 2016

      Popular with the family and easy. I made the following modifications: diluted chicken broth in place of water; will try with water alone next time. added a large onion and pureed along with the chickpeas, and will do it again next time. Added flavor and reduced graininess. Might add a half cup or so of rice next time, too. Lots of garnishes possible--I used toasted chickpeas, minced cukes, chopped black olives, chopped fresh thyme, sumac, and a drizzle of olive oil.

  • Real cream of tomato soup

    • ccav on October 01, 2012

      If not using all of this soup the first night, just add cream to amount being served. Then leftover soup can be frozen and used as a base for another soup or vegetable stew in slowcooker (zucchini, eggplant, onion, chickpea).

    • jhallen on August 11, 2021

      Really great simple tomato soup, best made in summer with fresh, ripe tomatoes

    • bching on November 19, 2022

      Only okay. Made with end of season tomatoes.

  • Spiced spinach dal with coconut milk

    • robinorig on March 09, 2012

      Online version: http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendid-table/recipes/spiced_spinach_dal_with_coconut_milk.html

    • ccav on December 10, 2012

      Made this with added chunks of fresh pumpkin. Did not add the chilis but the soup still had a good flavor and "bite" to it. Next time will reduce water a little to make thicker soup

    • jhallen on August 12, 2021

      This was very tasty and extremely easy.

  • White miso winter soup

    • ccav on December 05, 2012

      This soup was surprisingly nice; all the ingredients came together to create a gently sweet taste tempered by the mild saltiness of the miso. Used leeks instead of onion since it's what I had and it worked well. Will definitely make again!
