Daily Soup Cookbook or Healthy Mexican Cooking

Daily Soup Cookbook

Author: Leslie Kaul

Soup is the ultimate comfort food. It soothes the soul on a cold, rainy day, serves as a one-pot meal on busy weeknight, and nourishes those feeling “under the weather.”

All of the soups in The Daily Soup Cookbook are so thick and satisfying that they serve as entire meals. Drawn from cultures around the world, Daily Soup’s one-pot wonders include Senegalese Peanut, Indian Black Lentil, Jamaican Pumpkin Seed, and Crawfish Etoufée, as well as tried and true classics like Minestrone, French Onion, and Cuban Black Bean. And with dozens of vegetarian, dairy-free, low-fat recipes, a selection of cold soups, and many recipes for stock, this book has something for every soup lover no matter what the season.

The Daily Soup Cookbook will inspire with its soul-and-palate-satisfying approach to this primal food. Combining irreverence with years of commitment to perfecting just one food, the authors have created a truly unusual book of brilliantly simple recipes for the absolute best soups you have ever tasted.

Daily Soup is a popular New York City chain that sells an ever-changing menu of main-dish soups. Close to 200 of their recipes are gathered in their cookbook, mostly organized by main ingredient (plus "Really Delicious Soups That Didn't Fit into Any Chapter"). Wild Mushroom Artichoke Soup, Poblano Corn Chowder, and Bahian Seafood Stew are just some of the wide-ranging, often unusual choices. Recommended for area libraries and other larger collections. Moosewood, the well-known vegetarian restaurant in Ithaca, NY, offers a different special--soup, salad, and bread--every day. In its eighth cookbook, the restaurant collective presents dozens of recipes for soups, main-dish and side salads, and accompaniments, inspired by a dazzling variety of cuisines, from Algerian Tomato Soup and Grecian Isle Stew to Thai Noodle Salad and Louisiana Black-Eyed Pea Salad. Some of the recipes are vegan, and there are seafood soups and salads for those who eat fish. For most collections. Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
