I’ve tried a few of these recipes and they’re so easy, but still taste great!

Looking forward to trying them all. :o)

I really like the recipes in this book. I am not a big soup maker so it gave me a lot of good recipes for making soup. The recipes are way to make and don’t call for ingredients that you wouldn’t normally have in your kitchen. Since I am a beginner on making soup of any kind, I found this book to be helpful a lot. As always, preview the book before you buy it to see if it has what you are interested in.

There are a total of 10 soup recipes in this book:

Basic Potato Soup
Basic Vegetable Beef Soup
Easy Chili
Broccoli Soup
Kid’s Favorite Alphabet Chicken Soup
Super Simple Chicken Chili
Tortilla Soup
Vegetable Cheddar Soup
Tasty Taco Soup
So Simple 24 Hour Soup

I like the cover but I don’t think any of these recipes are going to be a hit with my family. It’s a bit hard to determine the number of servings. One of the recipes appears to be 2 servings and another one has “4 pounds of stewing chickens.” The Basic Vegetable Beef Soup has 2-1/2 pounds of stew meat but requires only 5 cups of liquid for the final step. The Taco soup recipe uses 10 cans of various beans and vegetables. The Easy Chili includes 2 pounds of hamburger and a large can of baked beans, a large can of tomato juice, and an unidentified-sized can of tomatoes. The most interesting recipe was the So Simple 24 Hour Soup using the slow cooker. The proportions seem more like stew than soup, but it does use mostly fresh vegetables, and I had never thought about making soup the day before in a crockpot.

I think many cooks would be more successful if they just put some broth in the pot and started adding their leftovers from the last few meals.
