Soup

by johnny-acton-nick-sandler, Johnny Acton

Soup, the most ancient prepared food known to man, is healthy, satisfying and truly international. Refreshing in summer and warming in winter, soup can be comforting or cutting edge, an elegant starter or a sensational meal in itself. This exciting new cookbook takes us on a gastronomic tour of the globe as it peers into the stockpots of Western and Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Islamic world, Africa and the Caribbean, the Americas, China, Japan, India, and Southeast Asia (ending with a chapter devoted to "Fusion" soups). Try Dutch Pea and Pork, Zimbabwean Peanut and Red Pepper Stew, Moroccan Lamb with Green Lentils, or Toulouse Sausage and Bean Cassoulet. These flavorful, wonderfully unusual recipes—all strikingly photographed in color— are complemented by expert instructions for making stocks and accompanying breads.
