Every Season is Soup Season. I agree! Although I tend to cook the bulk of my soups in the Fall & Winter...there are times that I just want soup no matter the temperature outside. This book has a section dedicated to each of the four seasons and over 80 recipes. There is really something for everyone!

In addition to the recipes themselves there are tons of helpful tips throughout. Like what to do if you accidentally made your soup too spicy or how to know how much soup to prepare for a crowd. What meat might go best in each soup & the tastiest way to reheat leftovers. There are also many recipes that have ideas on how to repurpose your leftovers. Pumpkin soup becomes pumpkin deviled eggs and a tortilla soup becomes a main component of baked nachos.

I especially loved the soup enhancers section...the salads and breads look amazing and would make a great side for any of the book's soups!

Colorful pages, easy to follow instructions, and healthy whole food ingredients. You can tell this book is a labor of love. After countless 100°+ days here in Texas I am more than ready for fall and all the soups...but first up...a bowl, or two, of the summery Corn & Roasted Poblano Chowder is on the menu. 5 stars.

Thank you to Chronicle Books for an ARC of this cookbook in exchange for my honest review.

As this was a free advance copy, I only had access to it on my phone. It makes it hard to go through so I read the titles of several soups and just tried those. That being said, some of the recipes were quite good. I liked the recipe ideas for the leftovers even better than the soup in certain instances. The Gruyere, cauliflower and potato soup was good but I really liked the leftover recipe where the soup was used over eggs and biscuits. Another left over recipe that stood out was the watermelon gazpacho bloody Mary. I tried about four more recipes that were all good though I admit I added meat to some. (The recipes are vegetable forward). I would definitely recommend this book and will be purchasing a hardcover copy for my cookbook collection.
I received this book from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.

I am a huge soup fan. I eat it year round so this book was created for me. It is presented in seasonal sections which is nice. It also includes many ideas of how to use the soup recipe to make other dishes. Photos were bright and plentiful. There are usual recipes such as Roasted Tomato but also unusual ones such as Caramelized Cabbage and Barley (can’t wait to make this one). There are also some cold soups and sweet soups. There is a section with suggested menus. Great book for soup lovers!

Every Season is Soup Season exceeded all my expectations! The book was expertly organized, making it easy to find the perfect soup for any time of the year. The stunning photography had me drooling over each luscious bowl of soup, and the best part was discovering recipes I never thought I'd try. The flexibility of the base recipes allowed me to get creative with toppings and fixings, making each bowl a unique and delightful experience. With helpful tips for batching and freezing, using Instant Pot or slow cooker, weeknight cooking became a breeze. This cookbook is a must-have for soup lovers, health-conscious eaters, and busy individuals seeking delicious and nourishing meals without the fuss. From hearty broths to refreshing gazpachos, Every Season Is Soup Season truly makes every day a good day for soup!

Soup to warm your soul throughout the seasons is something Shelly Westerhausen Worcel gives us in "Every Season is Soup Season."

With clear instructions and beautiful images, this book will make you want to make soup - glorious soup. And if that wasnt enough, Worcel throws in nibbles and desserts as well. This is a book families, couples and individuals will want to take a look at when planning their next meal.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for sharing an advanced copy with me.

I absolutely love homemade soup, so I was incredibly excited to find this book. I found the recipes incredibly easy to read and I don’t think I will have any issue following them.

I very much appreciated the flavor guide to correct the dishes when the seasoning is off. I have needed this in my life for a very long time.

I generally think of soup as a fall or winter food and it not something I tend to make in warmer seasons as much as I love it. I was thrilled to see this was set up by the season and there are lots of options that are refreshing and feel like something I will want to eat even when I am suffering through the heat of the south in the summer.

Excuse me, I need to stop writing this review so I can go grocery shopping because now I need soup.

This book was a delight to read. The variety of soup recipes provided give the reader many delicious options to choose from. The ingredients were easy to find and the recipes were easy to follow

I was wanting to get into making soups for my lunch and this wonderful book showed up. This is the best kind of meal prep, in my opinion. I can’t wait to work through the rest of the book!

I really enjoyed the recipes in this book my only hitch with it was that while I usually love pictures, this was VERY heavy on them. A lot didn’t have to do with the recipes, they were more atmospheric, which is nice but I felt it was over loaded and I wanted more recipes. The “new twist” on the recipes was fantastic though and my favorite part of the book. Love being able to do a whole new dish with leftovers, makes it more fun.

Every once in awhile having a soup dish is nice, especially in the cooler month so I was hoping to find more soup recipes with this cookbook. The ingredients are listed in the left side on the page with the directions on the right. For some of the steps, there are times when it is short and others where there is more to read (it is easier to read the longer steps zoomed in while cooking with the ebook version). For the most part the recipes use ingredients that would be in season in either spring/summer/fall/winter; however, would have like to see more of a variety in the season vegetables. There are images of the dishes and some non-recipe images that I personally didn't care to see.

There are a couple recipes that seemed interesting at first glance. If looking for some different soup recipes for a certain season, then could be a good one to check out. However, for me I didn't find as many recipes that I would want to make as I was hoping with this cookbook.

Every Season is Soup Season is a wonderful collection of recipes (and beautiful, mouthwatering pictures) with soup options for any season! Tons of variety in these pages. I love that there are little additions to many recipes for adjustments to the recipe, or ideas for leftovers to make them different! Also, there are many vegetarian recipes with a meat option, so they can be used by everyone. This is a must for every household!

Thanks Netgalley for the opportunity to review this eARC in exchange for my honest review on the book!

I was disappointed with this book. There were a lot of landscape pictures and they were beautiful. But this is a recipe book and I didn't get the connection to showing so many pictures of things that aren't soup. There were also a lot of recipes that were for pastas, salads, and casseroles, also not soup. There were odd flavor combinations, but that could just be that I am too picky of an eater. I finished, but there weren't any recipes I wanted to try.

Soup lovers will be a fan of this. Lots of variety and divided up by seasons, which is so helpful. The photos are so pretty too and there is one for each recipe, which for me personally is a must in a cookbook. The intro pages are great and I liked that it talks about how to store extra soup/leftovers etc.

NETGALLEY REVIEW | Every Season is Soup Season by Shelly Westerhausen Worcel

⭐️ Rating: 5/5
🏷️ Genre: cookbook, food, nonfiction
📝 Review: as a self proclaimed SOUP GIRLIE this cookbook had it all for me. I love, love, LOVE, that the author not only had a soup recipe but the following recipe after that was a way to repurpose the leftover soup for an entirely new meal. I think that is an amazing concept and they executed it wonderfully. I loved the little tidbits and inspiring ideas sprinkled throughout and the photos in between recipes of their home and beautiful scenery made this an even more inviting, cozy cookbook.
✔️ Final Thoughts: excellent recipes but an issue I had was there weren’t common suggestions for less-common ingredients
📚 Recommending: yes! Will also likely be purchasing for myself after publishing.

Soup really IS for every season. It's my favorite food, and I am a sucker for every soup-centric cookbook. The book separates the soups into seasons and follows each season with a little suggestion following each season.

Cookbook: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

I loved how the soups were focused on Seasons as well as some details about storying and freezing your soups properly. Also, the photos are just stunning! They are giving me a modern 70s vibe and the colors, 😍😍!

My favorite from each season:
Fall - Gruyere, Cauliflower & Potato Soup; Yes! Cauliflower is one of my top 3 favorite veggies!
Winter - French Onion Strata Bake; I love how they took one of their soup recipes and gave it a "new twist".
Spring - Red Cabbage Soup with Creme Fraiche and Dill; This dish looks stunning!!!
Summer - Summer Garden Minestrone; I actually made this last night for dinner and it was soooo tasty!


NetGalley provided Every Season is Soup Season eBook; thank you, NetGalley and Chronicle Books, for the copy in return for an honest review.

Special thanks to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for providing me with this book in exchange for an honest review. I absolutely loved this book, the pictures were beautiful and the recipes are outstanding, I want to try every single one! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to try their hand at cooking more. In addition to soup, I love how a few other recipes were included that pair well with the soups.

I saw this on Netgalley and I was so excited that it was a ‘Read Now.’ This will be a cookbook that I will own! I’ve got quite the cookbook collection going but I cannot wait for this one.

I love soup and I know that I don’t really get as much in the Spring and Summer but there are some great options here. Mostly, my husband will not eat soup if it’s hot out. haha, There are many of your classic soups and a lot of new ideas too. One of the best things about this book is that there are options for other things to make with the leftover soup. Let me say that again, there are other meals to make from the leftovers!! I think this is such a brilliant thing to offer in a cookbook! I’m not sure how successful a lot of the second meals would be because I have freeze a lot of soup now, but it’s great to have that option. One that I really can’t wait to try is the Broccoli Cheese soup that gets repurposed into baked Broccoli Cheddar Pasta!

There are also a lot of really great-sounding mix-ins to add to your soups too. Many of them can be homemade like grilled-cheese croutons. There are tips for freezing and using different cooking methods, like an instant pot.

If you like soups anytime or just in the fall/winter then check this one out!

Many thanks to Netgalley and Chronicle Books for an e-arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is more than a book of soup recipes. It also includes a recipe to use the soup in. So you get two for the price of one. Also included are accompanying breads, salads, and sauce recipes.

Shelly Westerhausen Worcel's "Every Season is Soup Season" is a soup recipe book with suggestions for soups and meals using those soups organized by season. The recipes are vegetarian, but the book includes information on meats to add to the soups if you prefer them that way.

As someone who cannot eat canned soup due to the preservatives in them, I especially liked that there were recipes that used the homemade soups to make a non soup meal. Everything from Savory Sesame-Carrot Oatmeal (which uses homemade roasted vegetable broth and carrot-orange ginger soup) to Broccoli-Cheddar Soup added to the pasta bake recipe.

The book has gorgeous photography and all of the recipes have at least one picture. The recipes look delicious and doable for the average cook. I will be trying out some of these recipes as this book has made me really hungry for soup!

Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
