    Book Description
    From Booklist
    In Souped Up, Sally Sampson offers dozens of recipes for just about everyone's favorite comfort food. Whether as a first course or as a main course, soups offer a vast spectrum of flavors and soothing textures. Sampson divides soups into categories: pureed, cream, chunky, bean, chicken, fish, chili, chilled, and gazpacho. She also has a chapter on stews, a sort of transitional zone between soup and braised meat entrees. Sampson's soups cover many traditions, but there is only one Asian soup, a singular offering from Vietnam. Beyond standards, Sampson has recipes for squash soup with lime, garlic, and ginger; cucumber and walnut soup; curried spinach and lentil soup; and tropical fruit gazpacho. To round out a meal featuring one of these soups, she records some bread recipes to provide contrasting texture. For those needing even more sustenance, Sampson introduces seven sweets, such as brownies, oatmeal lace cookies, and an adaptable fruit tart. Mark Knoblauch

    Book Description


    "[Soup] can be an entire meal, a starter, a dessert. It can be served for dinner, lunch, or even breakfast. It is the original comfort food." -- from the Introduction

    Who doesn't like a bowl of homemade soup? Cold or hot, vegetable or chicken, smooth or chunky, there is a recipe in this book to suit even the most finicky eater.

    Nobody knows soup like chef and author Sally Sampson. In Souped Up!, she tempts you with more than 100 delicious and easy-to-prepare recipes for soups, stews, chilis, and more. Sampson includes every imaginable type of soup in this delightful volume, including bean soups, fish soups, cream soups, chicken soups, and chilis and stews. No matter what the season (fall, winter, summer, or spring) or the purpose (appetizer, main course, or dessert), Sampson has a recipe for you.

    Mouthwatering recipes like Triple Tomato; Broccoli Rabe, Butternut Squash, and Caramelized Onion; White Bean and Fennel; Split Pea with Lemon; Helen Geller's Matzoh Ball; and six variations of Gazpacho will please even the seasoned soup maker. For heartier fare, try recipes like Black Bean Chili; Beef Chili with Beer; Spicy Sausage Chili; Moroccan Vegetable Stew with Raisins, Herbs, and Rice; and Curried Chicken Stew.

    She also offers helpful tips on making stocks, freezing soups, and essential ingredients and equipment.
