Being a person who loves both soup and also beans, this cookbook I found to be such a treasure of wonderful recipes! From the beginning of this cookbook, I found recipes that I was so thrilled to try out!One of the reasons that I bought this book is because two days a week, I eat meatless meals. Since this book does have meat broths with some of the recipes, I simply substituted vegetable broth (stock) to the recipes. Since today's vegetable stock is so tasty, this will perhaps make the recipe even tastier.There are so many recipes in this book that I really like, however, I will list the one that are my favorite recipes from this book:+ Big Batch Bean Soup - When I make soup, I love to make extra so I can freeze it for times when I have no time to cook. What I did on this recipe was to eat one half of it for two meals (dinner and lunch). Then I froze the rest in a large freezer container and put a label with the date on it in my freezer. In a week or so, when I have no time to cook, I remove it from the freezer and heat it up in the microwave for a fast and easy dinner or lunch!+ Emma's Bean Soup - This is SO EASY to make. and only takes about 30 minutes of cooking time. Very great flavor I found.+ Macaroni Bean Soup - This is a very filling soup and it just takes 30 minutes to prepare.+ Many other great recipes!The only con I will say about this book is it needs better editing, some of the font's are uneven, and some words are too close etc. However, with the wonderful and satisfying recipes that I discovered in this cookbook wonder, I shall overlook these things.Highly recommend!
