Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I love soup! I love lamp! This book has a lot of delicious soup recipes. I’m not one to follow recipes. I like to get ideas from cook books then make them to my liking. This book is full of great ideas. I especially like how they give suggestions on how to use leftovers to make a new dish.

In a word... YUM!

This is the perfect book to take your soup loving from just Fall/Winter to all seasons.

My family really enjoyed all the recipes we tried. It even helped us change up a few favorites!

If you love soup like my family does, you need this cookbook in your kitchen.

Thank you NetGalley and Chronicle Books!
I am so excited to try out the recipes in this book! There is a huge variety of soups for the different seasons and desired flavors. The book is absolutely beautiful and the photos look stunning. My favorite thing about this book is how it breaks down each soup for taste as well as the additional recipes you can make with the soup.

There are so many good recipes in this book! I can't wait to try the Smores Soup in the dessert section!

Vegetarian soup cookbook with chapters divided by season. In many cases, what makes these soups vegetarian is the use of vegetable broth instead of meat-based broths, but that is easy to change. A great feature i that each soup has one or more bonus recipes that use the same ingredients, or even the soup for an additional dish.

This is a fantastic book! My family is a huge soup lover so I am always looking for different soup recipes. These recipes are easy to make. I also loved the photography in this book. It makes you want to get in the kitchen and start cooking!

I cannot get over how most of these soup recipes have a second recipe that uses up some of the leftovers because we all know it's impossible to make a small amount of soup. I was really into soups this last winter so I cannot wait to test out more recipes next winter! And to test out some of the summer recipes!

Souper Adaptable!

I love the way this book is structured because it arranges recipes by season and encourages seasonal eating. But, you’re not held to that…it’s merely a suggestion. Seasonal eating allows the cook to buy produce and other ingredients when they are at their peak and most affordable. There is so much more to love about this cookbook though. The recipes are original and can be used as a base with which to build the next recipe. The Worcels have also provided recipes for enhancements to their soup recipes and accompaniments. I really appreciated the fact that they also touched on storage and preservation methods for their recipes. This is a very user-friendly cookbook with loads of color photos and easy-to-read and use instructions for all skill levels. I’m so excited to make the dark chocolate s’more soup over the summer. It sounds so yummy! My thanks to #ShellyWesterhausenWorcel, #WyattWorcel, #ChronicleBooks, and #NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I love soup!

This cookbook gives a range of interesting soup recipes- some classics and some new! These recipes are all vegetarian, with advice for how to add meat or fish as desired.

Most of the soup recipes are followed with ideas/recipes for how to use leftovers for that particular recipe. This is a great idea! Especially when you just have a small amount left- finding ways to repurpose the soup into something new is genius!

Overall, I would say this cookbook is best for people looking for vegetarian adaptations of classic American soup recipes. Several of the recipes sound good to me, but I am not really looking for new recipes for things like French onion soup, broccoli cheddar, tomato soup, etc.

Who doesn't love a good soup?! I love that this cookbook not only provides delicious soup recipes for every season, but also gives you different ways to use those soups in other delicious dishes. Summer is a tough time to even think about soup, but this cookbook has me wanting to try some delicious soup recipes to keep my family and myself cool in the heat. However, I am also rooting for fall/winter to come quick to try some warm soups and chilis, too! Not to mention the dessert soups! So delicious.

Stunning pictures ! This cook book is beautiful and entices hunger by just looking at the pages .
I loved the idea of providing the recipe of the soup and then what to do with the left overs . I don’t know why more haven’t thought of it because I love the idea. It really helps with leftovers and honestly saving money since my kids don’t like leftovers but loved the new dishes created with the leftover . A new favorite is the coconut pumpkin red lentil stew . Thank you !
I will now be using this cook book regularly.
Thank you to Netgalley for a free copy.

This is your guide to everything soup. These soups are divided into seasons so if you are trying to use fresh ingredients this will help you out. There is an introduction section that is broken down into how you can freshen up leftover, equipment guide, flavor guide, serving, storing and freezing guide. Then the recipes! There's something for ever flavor pallet you might have. There are recipes included to go along with the soups. One I want to try is stovetop pumpkin mac & cheese with roasted brussels sprouts. This includes three of the things I enjoy all together. These recipes will broaden you horizon food wise. If you are adventurous you will love trying some of these new recipes.

As a soup lover, I am so excited to try some of these amazing recipes. I love the beautiful pictures of not only the food but nature. There are some great ideas on how toy can reuse leftover soup for additional meal ideas as well as some great tips on serving and saving your leftovers. The recipes are all vegetarian with tips on how to add different proteins and meats.

Soup is one of my favorite foods so reviewing this book was a no-brainer. Not only does it have fabulous soup recipes, there are so many others as well.

This book is well organized, has great pictures and delicious recipes. It's a total winner and I can't wait to make some of these on my own.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I voluntarily chose to review it and the opinions contained within are my own.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a unique book! The book includes recipes not just recipes for soups, but ramen, lentils, and more.

The book is broken down by season showing just how versatile soups can be throughout the year. There's beautiful pictures and the recipes are easy to follow. There's tips on how to adapt the recipe for a crock pot or other cooking method on some recipes.

Overall a great find!

I love this soup cookbook! There’s so many different types of soups. There’s so many tips and hacks for flavors. I love that there’s pictures of each dish so if you are the type to choose a soup based off the look then this is the cookbook for you! My favorite is the minestrone soup! I can’t wait to make this for dinner soon! I would recommend this cookbook to anyone who loves soups or just loves to cook in general!

Thank you NetGalley for my copy. This book was such a surprise and joy to read!
Loved the soup enhancer and accompaniments areas. I find it so cute and real that the whole book is veg and her husband is the one giving the protein recs, and it is done in such a respectful way.

Menu ideas were brilliant! This is so much more than a cookbook. Everything does look amazing but it actually teaches you to build flavor profiles.

Fall and Winter were my faves. Fall with its yummy comfort, and Winter so very decadent.

Okay first, the pictures in this book are absolutely beautiful! I also love that every recipe has the option to be meatless or with meat. Along with recipes for soup it has lots of useful information too. I love that the recipes are sorted by season. I Will definitely be making lots of these!!

This is the perfect soup cookbook! I love that the author broke the recipes up by season. I also like how much thought was put into how each recipe is presented. The author gives you a soup recipe, but also gives you tips on how to amp it up (especially for people who eat meat as all of the recipes are vegetarian), how to use leftovers to make another meal, different options for cookware, and also how to store your soup.

The visuals are absolutely stunning. All of the food looks delicious, but aesthetic pictures of the outdoors, table settings, etc. are also included.

I can't wait to try the Gruyere, Cauliflower, & Potato Soup as well as the Coconut Pumpkin Curry Red Lentil Stew!

I'd highly recommend this for soup lovers and vegetarians (although I think this book has a recipe for almost anyone).

So…I love soup. It can get repetitive sometimes though, and I can’t wait to try out more of these recipes in the coming months. This has a good balance of unique new recipes and some classics, with different cooking methods, sample menus, and accompaniments. My absolute favorite part of this cookbook are the recipes after each soup recipe that repurpose the soup into a completely new dish. As someone who often only cooks for 1-2 people, I can only eat the same thing so many times before wanting to throw it out. Instead of being wasteful, one soup can now be made into exciting new dishes! This sparked my creativity and my excitement for cooking again!
