My Review

I eat soup year-round. I love to make soup in the slow cooker on the weekends in the winter. It makes the house smell great all day, giving it a cozy feel. I also love nothing more than opening a can of soup in the middle of summer when it's so dang hot that I can't bear the thought of cooking anything. This collection has some great ideas for changing things up a bit. I like when I can make more than one meal out of something and this book gave me several ideas for turning leftovers into soup or turning a soup into an ingredient in my next meal. It also opened my mind to new ideas of what to add to a soup. Why did I ever stop at boring saltines? I'm looking at my pantry ingredients in a whole new way!
