What a Great Cookbook!
I LOVE this book!!! I purchased it and had made several of the recipes when, to my delight, I watched Sara Moulton on Good Morning America choose it as one of the 10 best cookbooks of 2008. I could not agree more and admire Sara Moulton very much for finding this book among all of the books out there. These authors have written several cookbooks and I always look for new ones from them. I have never been disappointed by them. I highly recommend the Middle Eastern Lentil Soup with Garlic, which I served my family last night. I have also tried a more "comfort food" style by making the Pennsylvania Dutch Chicken-Corn Soup with Tiny Dumplings. To date I have prepared about half a dozen of the recipes and my family are all big fans. I am very much looking forward to their next book.

Best Soup book ever.
I really love this book. I make soups all the time, either as a starter for dinner parties or as dinner for the family. I can use this book for left overs or if I have a particular soup in mind you know it's in there. So far all the recipes I've made from this book have been "sensational".

soups for every season
When food editor Sara Molton of Good Morning America did a segment called, "The Best Cookbooks for 2008", she selected and led off with "300 Sensational Soups," and said it was her favorite. I have to agree. This cook book is fantastic. There are soups for every season, even dessert soups! We have potlucks just about every month where I work, and without fail I make something from this book to bring. It's always a hit. Soups range from hearty to light, again depending on the time of year. Cold to warm, and if your feeling adventurous, there's a whole section of soups from around the world.

Whatever I'm in the mood for, or the occasion, this soup book has it. You can't get a better recommendations then one from Sara Molton, but I sure hope you also take one from an all American housewife like me.

Talking about this cookbook is making me hungry, I think I'll go make some soup.
