I am fairly new to soup making. I have a couple family favorite soups that we make but they turn out differently each time we make them. This book is well thought out for a person to have a lot of flexibility in how your soups turn out.Gloria Daniels knows what she is doing and you can learn a lot from her approach. The book explains all the types of things you can use to create your own soup. She explains things about vegetables, meats, grains, herbs, fruits, flavor enhancers, thickeners and much more. Ms Daniels gives you several methods for different soups and helps build your confidence in how good your soup will taste when it is done.After all the background and understanding of how to best use some ingredients then you are really ready to make your own soups using the best advice you can get. That is "Taste, Taste and Taste Again" until you get the texture, thickness and taste you are looking for. This is the fun part because you are the creator of whatever type of soup you want and you don't have to be concerned with following instructions word for word and not having it turn out like when we had large family dinners with soup as the main course. Great job by Gloria Daniels.
