This really is a super book (sorry), but it really is. Firstly a disclaimer: I'm a massive soup fan, such a fantastic way to get lovely, healthy ingredients into the family.This book really goes above and beyond most other soup recipe books in that it explains in the first sections about the ingredients, such as herbs, spices and flavorings and details where they are best used and what cuisine uses them extensively.Gloria also discusses a number of the different methods for creating stocks from beef, chicken, fish and vegetable. I've not seen that done so well or so extensively as in Gloria's book.The final section, the recipes, is replete with gorgeous soups. My personal favorites are the Italian sausage and the beautiful egg drop soup. Excellent.
