All the classics are here, including such American regional favorites as New England Clam Chowder and Seafood Gumbo, Bouillabaisse from France, Thai Crispy Fish Spicy Soup, Italian Pasta e Fagioli, and dozens more. In addition, there are recipes for four basic stocks, the foundation on which all good soups are built.  The definitive soups included in this collection offer all of the nutritional benefits of a hot, comforting meal without unnecessary fuss in the kitchen. Whether you prepare Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls to cure what ails you, dazzle your dinner guests with an incomparable Vichyssoise, or transform the daily catch into Fish and Onion Stew, The International Soup Book promises to delight and to become a well-worn addition to your kitchen shelf.
