Summary: Great soup book!
Review: Many recipes in this book are based on a vegetable broth described in the beginning of the book. Very tasty and healthy. I have had many of these soups in restaurants, and wondered what the ingredients were. They are all here! The creamy carrot soup is the best. Buy this book, and make soup. You'll use it often.

Summary: The New and the Old
Review: Some of these recipes were old favorites and some were very new, but what they all have in common the low fat content which we all appreciate. The author does not sacrifice taste when she trades in the higher fat foods for lower fat ones!Some of the recipes are ones I enjoyed reading but would never try because of the loooong list of ingredients. I find myself just skipping over recipes that have 20+ ingredients. It's just too much. Looking out at 2 feet of snow, I am planning on making the Chick Pea and Tomato Soup this afternoon. Sounds yummy.

Summary: Saved by Soup
Review: This is a lovely little book. Full of recipes that are easy to make and taste fabulous. We try a new soup from this book at least once a month, and we make Pasta e Fagioli almost every week. The only down side, for those on specialized diets, is that the nutritional information is limited to calories and grams of fat only.

Summary: Wow, health and great flavor too!
Review: This is a must for your kitchen cookbook library. "Saved by Soup" should not be confused as a seasonal cookbook. I love cooking soup during the blustery winter days, and from fall to spring this compact cookbook seldom goes back into the rack. The summer section in this book is also very good. You must try Judith Barrett's `Best Gazpacho' and `Chilled Corn Vichyssoise' summer recipes. My girlfriend is delighted over this cookbook, and she does not often cook. She jumped in and made some very good soups -- try `Real Gumbo with Okra and Chicken' . Together, we have yet to find a recipe that is not very pleasing. Many, like the `Ligurian Minestrone', are excellent (this is the best Minestrone we have eaten). Now, even though these recipes are easy to follow, and the great color photographs make them more enticing, they are not the "20 minute" type. Many of them call for fresh herbs and fresh ingredients, but don't despair, Barrett will reward you with outstanding taste almost every time and I guarantee that your guests will clamor for more. OK, with that having been said, don't forget that most of her recipes are low fat -- less than 3 grams of fat per serving. Wow, health and great flavor too! Highly Recommended

Summary: Best cookbook purchase I've ever made
Review: This is by far my favorite cookbook. I am actually not much of a cook (though I have lots of cookbooks-go figure!) but I use this one all the time. I've made about a dozen of the soups and I've loved them all. The recipes are easy, delicious and simple to follow.
