The Secrets of Jesuit Soupmaking: A Year of Our Soups (Compass)
Brother Curry's second cookbook is a natural companion volume to  his first, The Secrets of Jesuit Breadmaking. He presents 60  recipes for soups from a variety of cuisines, both simple and  more elaborate. But the recipes are only part of the book, as  Curry introduces each one with mini-essays whose subjects range  from theological questions to religious history to his own  40-plus years of experience in the Jesuit community. A cookbook  that intersperses recipes w0not appeal to everyone, but Curry,  who is also the founder and director of the National Theater  Workshop of the Handicapped, is a natural storyteller, and his  text is very readable.
