The Soupmaker’s Kitchen by Aliza Green

When I make homemade soup, I’m a hero in my house. My family loves soup. Butternut squash, lentil, broccoli, cauliflower. Whatever I make, they love.  Best of all, besides the mutual soup admiration club, I always feel good that I’m serving something healthy.  Pureed vegetables with water or milk and very little else, what can be better than that? I also love the fact that a pot lasts several days and takes us through several meals.  There is no downside (except the cleanup).

According to a new book THE SOUPMAKER’S KITCHEN (Quarry Books, July 2013, $24.99 US / $27.99 CAN), there is almost an art behind making soups and stocks. By learning how to organize your kitchen and cooking processes to use every part of your ingredients, you will also be extracting the most flavor and nutrient value from your food.
