Summary: Expensive, time consuming but nearly perfect recipes
Comment: I bought this book after reading some of the reviews here and I have to agree with them. I made the salmon chowder and senegalese peanut soup, and they tasted like something from a gourmet restaurant. I have never made such perfect soups.
However, these are very expensive and time-consuming recipes. If you follow them exactly, you'll get excellent soup. You'll also spend lots of money on ingredients and about two hours chopping, chopping, chopping to make the vegetable stock, then more chopping to make the actual soup. I nearly lost my mind (and about 35 minutes) grinding a pound of salted peanuts into a paste with a blender, only to realize: Couldn't I have achieved this by buying natural, unsugared peanut butter? Couldn't I have purchased that vegetable stock from Imagine Foods? (Maybe not. After the aforementioned hours of chopping, you might not want to risk [messing] up the whole dish with a substitution. And when you need 12 cups of stock, buying it makes it even more expensive).
Anyway, I would recommend this book to a friend. Especially a rich, single friend.

Summary: After this, you don't NEED another soup cookbook!
Comment: I have made many of the recipes in this book and was astounded to discover that ZERO alteration is required to make any of these recipes among the very best soups you'll have the privilege to taste.
By nature, I'm a footloose kind of cook--one that looks at a recipe and thinks "what can I do to make this better?" before I even fire up the oven! Well, this cookbook is the only one I've ever come across where I trust each and every recipe to be perfect. I've never been disappointed.
Because of my delight with this book, it is not only the only cookbook I've ever recommended to friends (or anyone else I know!), but it is also the only cookbook I give as a gift.
A zealot? Perhaps. But try any one of the recipes yourself and you'll be an instant convert.
Enjoy!

Summary: So easy & simple
Comment: If only life would be like this. Every recipe here is simplified down to its' barest essentials. & I really like the stock recipes that are such an unexplored territory in cooking nowdays. Back in grandma's day, soup just wasn't soup w/out the stock. But to have a choice in stock making. Worth it's weight in latium. The info contained therein replaces several of my cookbooks.
But the best is the list of recommendations. I.e which soups go w/what. Like watching the Godfather.
