Soups is fantastic, its got clear, easy to read instructions and plenty of good ideas to try. There are quite a few new ones for our family to try and some that we make often but with alternative ingredients, so worth looking at too.

With the cost of living what it is and wanting food to stretch further than before I can see a lot of big families like mine going back to traditional cooking so this book fits in perfectly with this way of thinking.

This is a beautifully illustrated collection of soup recipes by Maggie Ramsay, it appealed to me as a staple, particularly during Autumn and Winter where you can have a delicious healthy meal in a bowl, and where you can create a nutritious, warming and versatile soup with whatever you have and incorporating whatever seasonal vegetables are available. It is not difficult to make, and in choosing to look at this, I was looking for inspiration to add to the range of soups I already make. It certainly provided that for me, as a vegetarian, I was primarily attracted to veggie recipes, and it covers those vegetables that you might have foraged, pulses and grains. Those that particularly appealed to me included the Spicy New Potato, Coconut and Cashew Soup, Beetroot and Horseradish Soup, and Chestnut and Mushroom Soup. The recipes are clearly laid out and easy to follow, and include stocks, garnishes, accompaniments. and dumplings. This is for anyone interested in making soups, beginners and for more experienced soup makers and would make a wonderful present. Many thanks to the publisher for an ARC.

Soups by Maggie Ramsay

Lots of wonderful recipes of soup , and whilst I haven't made any yet the book has given me some great ideas for the cooler months.
Would make a brilliant Christmas present for any cook or soup lover.

Yum. I love soup and I am always looking for new and interesting recipes to perk up my soup repertoire! And this book had some great recipes along with great illustrations, easy to follow instructions and lots of vegetables.

This is a book I will use time and again few most of the recipes ones I will be trying. Lots of information and well laid out it is a cookbook that any soup lover will enjoy.

Thank you NetGalley and Collins Reference for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book and try these tasty recipes. YUM!

This is a lovely little book with some excellent recipes. It has a fantastic selection which go beyond the normal range of soups usually included in cookbooks and I was especially pleased to see how many were vegetarian - there are even recipes for foods found when foraging. It's very informative, laid out very clearly and explains all steps so would be perfect for a beginner as well as the more experienced cook looking for new flavours. The National Trust books always have beautiful illustrations too and this one is no different. It makes me want to be a bit more adventurous with the ingredients I use and there are several that I cant wait to try!

Thanks to NetGalley for the copy in return for an honest review.
