Product Description

What do orange juice, buttermilk, honey, and nutmeg have in common? They're all ingredients in Ginger Carrot Soup, a deeply flavorful zinger of a recipe created to chase the winter chills away. Are you in the mood for tenderloin pork? Try a steaming bowl of charming Thai Pork Stew seasoned to perfection. Not sure what to make for dinner? You probably have everything you need for Pasta e Fagioli in your cupboard.

These soul-satisfying soups and stews are just three of the more than 70 dreamy dishes in this winning volume from Rodale's New Classics series. At first glance, some appear to be "old favorites," but all have a delightful new twist in flavor. Author Anne Egan makes a big-city splash with Manhattan Clam Chowder by pumping up the usual tomato-clam mix with bacon and hot-pepper sauce. Apricots, cinnamon, and curry intermingle in captivating yet easy Moroccan Lamb Stew, and fresh dill adds pizzazz to quick-cooking Split Pea Soup. When time is of the essence, serve the essence of Provence, Bouillabaisse with Herbed Toast, in just 25 minutes! (The secret is in the canned tomatoes and clam juice.) Relax and put your feet up while Beef Burgundy simmers on the stove.

With more than 30 color photographs and accessible chapter headings like Best-Ever Bean Soups and Favorite Fish Stews, you'll find what you want when you want it.

Customer Reviews

Savory Soup
This is the best soup recipe book I have ever used- and I have tried many books. This book has clear directions and recipes that are quick to complete- mostly 30 min. Everyone I have tried has turned out wonderful and has been a hit with my family and friends. Many have a touch of an unusal flavor that makes the soup a favorite. I love the Lentil Soup which has a wonderful light taste with balsamic vinegar, Salmon Chowder with olives (and I don't like olives), Curried Chickpea Soup and Corn Chowder are wonderful. I am actually working my way through the book and have not found a soup that is unpleasant or did not turn out. I love the fresh ingrediants and lower salt content of homemade soup. A wonderful way to work your way through the colder seasons.

Terrific
I use this cookbook more than any other. Egan's recipes are easily made and widely appreciated. I recommend the curried turkey and rice, tomato with turkey, white bean and carrot, curried chickpea, split pea, ginger carrot soups and the chicken and butternut squash and the tomato turkey with gremolata stews. Many of the recipes can be made in half an hour or less. Most of the ingredients are easily found at the supermarket (once in a great while I will have to search for a particular spice). The soups and stews are terrific for at home and for entertaining.
