Best ever soup cookbook!! Buy now!!! - By: Mrs. M. Lea, 28 Oct 2007 
I absolutly love this soup cookbook. Every soup I have made (about half of alll in book) turn out fab & there are several that I have made over & over. Definatly one I would recomend to everyone.
I have now also purchased the soup & beyond cookbook & made my first soup from that the other day...Parsnip, leek & Lemon. It was superb.
One of the best cookbooks I have ever owned.
The best book of soups in 10 years - By: Jo Wright, 10 Jun 2007 
I've owned this book for about 10 years & it is still the only book I use for making soup. My favourite is the Tuscan Bean soup, but I've made most of them over the years.
The only thing that stops me giving it a 5/5 is the print which still annoys me & has done since I bought it. The black on green is difficult to read, & sometimes the lettering alll blends into one. If they made a reprint with standard type I would be the first to buy it!
super soup book - By: J. M. Curzon, 11 Jan 2007 I can only say that any foodie will be delighted & inspired by the soups in the book. You can take the theme & develop it & produce tailor made specials to suit you & your family. My favorite is the spicy peanut soup, it is a real winner. My best tip is to make a large pot of stock & freeze in meal size bags. then when you want to make a soup it only takes a short while with not too much preparation. My children love the soups & keep trying to persuade us to try new ones.
A real winner!
New Covent Garden Soup Book - By: Kerry, 08 Jan 2006 I have owned this book for... ooooh... well it seems like forever but I'm guessing since 1996! This is esily the most used recipe book on my shelf, & I have a few. Never have I offered a soup from this book without a chorus of praise, I've altered some of the recipes, I object to buying a chicken just to make stock for a soup for example, so I've used Chicken Oxo. Where I've made a predominantly vegetable soup which has asked for Chicken Stock I've used Green Oxo. So appreciative have my friends been of the soups from this book that I must have bought 6 or 7 copies of it just as presents. Buy it, use it, love it... but be adventurous & change the odd thing here & there & see what you think of the alterations, the book even has a grid at the back for you to record the changes you have made & your verdict on the outcome.
The best soup cookbook ever - By: Helen Melichar, 04 Dec 2005 I have owned this book for over a year now & it is the most used cookbook on my shelf. Every time I cook a soup from it, I get compliments & empty bowls. Most of the recipes are quick & simple to make & if you don't have the exact ingredients, still tend to work well. As a final bonus, my children's vegetable intake has doubled since starting to cook these soups. A must buy!
