[.ca] Complete Book of Soups and Stews (ISBN 0671438646)

Soup Lovers Bible:
If you like soup, you need this book. Get one while it's still available. The hardback version I use is no longer available, but the paperback is just as good, if perishable. Sometimes, preparing really great recipes can be involved, but in the case of these, it's worth it. Most of them are quite simple compared to many other soup cookbooks, using only needed ingredients to achieve excellence if you can read and chop an onion. If you haven't got time to cook most of these fine dishes, try McDonalds, the drive-thru is really fast and you don't have to cook at all.

Great comprehensive soup book:
I wanted a cookbook to accompany a soup pot as a gift to a new bride. This book is great, as it shows basic how-to's in addition to specific recipes. Now I'm coming back to buy one for me, even though I've been creating soups for decades, to try out some of the terrific recipes in Mr. Bernard's collection.

Good recipes,but rather involved:
If you are looking for a quick and easy to prepare recipe...not here from what I have found.If you don't mind some detailed preparation, go for it. Otherwise they are not bad.
