The books to be written using a larger font.

Love, love, love!
This will be my go-to cookbook this winter. Every recipe I've tried has been fabulous, and I want to try them all. My favorites are the Chilled Watermelon Soup, Carmelized Onion Soup, Thai Coconut Broth, and Cuban Black Bean Soup. The author does a really nice job of presenting both familiar and unique soups without intimidation. Simple yet interesting. Love the variety of many different cuisines, with no weird ingredients I cannot find in my grocery store or will only use once. Love the emphasis on fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices. Love the variety of chilled, pureed, hearty, vegetarian, and meaty options. In response to other reviewers, making your own broth is worth the effort... just double the recipe and freeze. Or just buy it at the store, for heaven's sake. Don't let that keep you from making these soups!

Very nice book if you can overlook annoying fonts in Table of Contents
I purchased the Kindle version of this book and am for the most part happy with it.The cons of this book, in Kindle version anyway, are primarily that the Table of Contents pages are all in light blue font on a dark blue background. The recipe titles here are very hard on the eyes and difficult to read due to the bright, jarring font effects. Links throughout the Kindle version, while better than the Table of Contents, have a similar jarring blue underline to indicate hyperlinked text.Now for the pros. The books is well done with good instructions for making varieties of base stocks, or broths as the author calls them, and then soup recipes to make from the broths. I acquired an Instant Pot last year and have become a huge fan of making my own soup stocks and healthful soups, and while this book is not geared toward an electronic pressure cooker, the recipes are easy to convert. Aside from basic chicken broth, this book offers Immune Broth, Magic Mineral Broth, and Thai Coconut broth, in addition to three of the popular "bone broths." So far I have made the escarole soup, summer zucchini and basil soup, spiced butternut soup with cardamom and ginger, Moroccan carrot soup, and the coconut cauliflower soup with ginger and turmeric (about five times for that last one). We have loved all of them to date.My Instant Pot is not large enough to hold 8 quarts of water plus the ingredients for a full recipe, so I have everything. This book also offers a "soup cleanse" which I plan to try this winter. Well done with nice photographs - if only it didn't have those crazy fonts.

Must-Have for Soup Lovers!
I have been disappointed by so many cookbooks in the past because a few things are good and the rest meh. So far I have made several of the broths and about 6 of the soup recipes. All are delicious! Very healthy and simple to make. This might be my favorite cookbook ever! Great way to get a lot of good veggies in when you're not up for cooking. I can't recommend this more highly!

Delicious Soups. I love this book.
I’ve had this book less than a month and have already made quite a few of the soups. I’ve loved them all and can’t wait to make more. The Latin American Chicken Soup with Greens got raves from everyone, and it’s my son’s new favorite meal. We had the Mediterranean Fish bbsoups ready to reheat. I guess the font size is a little on the small side, but I’m totally fine with it and wouldn’t avoid ordering for that reason. Highly recommended.

Simply the Best
Rebecca is an artist in the kitchen, and her spice combinations are sublime. Highly recommended.

Rebecca Katz yay - Amazon Prime boo
I love this cookbook - it has changed the way I think of and create soup! I checked it out of the library 5 times before I decided I should just go ahead and buy it. I bought one for myself and my sister. The only disappointment is with Amazon. 10 days shipping - even with Prime - and it is British meaning the amounts and temperatures are all in grams and centigrade - kind of a pain for a full priced cookbook.

I recommend all Rebecca Katz books
Excellent as all her books are, and are interchangeable.

Not simple, maybe nourishing
Simple recipes these are not, because before you start in on the main recipe you first have to make a very complicated stock. Trying to think who I can give it to!
