Editorial reviews

Synopsis
The New Covent Garden Food Company was founded in 1988 to make homemade quality soup using entirely natural ingredients, and despite many imitators over the past eighteen years New Covent Garden are still the bestsellers in the fresh soup market. This enduring popularity is a result of New Covent Garden's continuous passion for fresh soup, which they expound as the ultimate, easy-to-make, healthy, delicious meal. Featuring over 100 of the New Covent Garden Soup Company's most popular soup recipes, this kitchen classic is as appealing today as it was when it was first published ten years ago. Repackaged in keeping with New Covent Garden's latest branding, the original "Book of Soups" is being relaunched to coincide with the publication of the new title, "Soup in Season".

There are no better books for soup lovers
I've had this book (the older edition) for almost 10 years now and I'm still using it. The recipes always work perfectly, the short little stories over each recipe are fun to read and I've never made any soup from this or the other two books without people asking for second, third and in one case even fourth helpings (and most of the time the soup was supposed to be the starter!). Normally, I make at least double the quantities because of that. Can you say more to show just how yummy the recipes are? This definitely is a book I couln't live without. Everybody should have it!

Best ever soup cookbook!! Buy now!!!
I absolutly love this soup cookbook. Every soup I have made (about half of all in book) turn out fab and there are several that I have made over and over. Definatly one I would recomend to everyone.

I have now also purchased the soup & beyond cookbook and made my first soup from that the other day...Parsnip, leek & Lemon. It was superb.

One of the best cookbooks I have ever owned.

The best book of soups in 10 years
I've owned this book for about 10 years and it is still the only book I use for making soup. My favourite is the Tuscan Bean soup, but I've made most of them over the years.

The only thing that stops me giving it a 5/5 is the print which still annoys me and has done since I bought it. The black on green is difficult to read, and sometimes the lettering all blends into one. If they made a reprint with standard type I would be the first to buy it!

super soup book
I can only say that any foodie will be delighted and inspired by the soups in the book. You can take the theme and develop it and produce tailor made specials to suit you and your family. My favorite is the spicy peanut soup, it is a real winner. My best tip is to make a large pot of stock and freeze in meal size bags. then when you want to make a soup it only takes a short while with not too much preparation. My children love the soups and keep trying to persuade us to try new ones.
A real winner!

New Covent Garden Soup Book
I have owned this book for... ooooh... well it seems like forever but I'm guessing since 1996! This is esily the most used recipe book on my shelf, and I have a few. Never have I offered a soup from this book without a chorus of praise, I've altered some of the recipes, I object to buying a chicken just to make stock for a soup for example, so I've used Chicken Oxo. Where I've made a predominantly vegetable soup which has asked for Chicken Stock I've used Green Oxo. So appreciative have my friends been of the soups from this book that I must have bought 6 or 7 copies of it just as presents. Buy it, use it, love it... but be adventurous and change the odd thing here and there and see what you think of the alterations, the book even has a grid at the back for you to record the changes you have made and your verdict on the outcome.
