Soup Maker: Soup Making Made Easy

Somehow I was expecting more of a book than a booklet - just 67 pages long, 42 soup recipes. However, there are some more unusual recipes alongside the usual ones, such as Beef curry soup, Moroccan lamb soup, Chinese pork and ginger, Prawn Thai, Satay chicken noodle, and so on. The recipes each have their own page, with very clear (large) font and different methods of cooking - so you can follow the instructions for a soup maker, a manual or programmable soup blender, or the traditional pan method. The photos are a bit basic, in fact the whole book seems like it was printed in the 1980's, (actually 2011), but all in all a fairly useful addition to the recipe collection, especially if you have just bought a soup maker which includes only a few recipes in the instruction book.

Sorry, I expected a book. This is more like a magazine. I buy a LOT of cook books (my wife thinks I collect them!) and this is one I was really disappointed with. I gave it 2 stars because a couple of the recipes are quite good. Without this saving grace I'd have given it 1 star. It just feels cheap and a bit "throw-away".

Bought this as a present for my sister so my review can only relate what she has said about it. Since she recieved it she has never shut up about it. Reckons it`s the best kitchen gadget she`s ever had. Soups are fantastic and so easy to make, smoothies are brilliant, ice and coffee grinding works a treat etc etc etc,,,, you get the picture. I think it`s safe to say she`s very happy with it.

A well presented book with good recipes and it has glossy pages so it doesn't get stained when I'm using it in the kitchen

speedy delivery, we did by the skinny soup maker book before and it didn't have illustrations so found a little hard to be inspired lol, we have bought two books, three in total...one was a prezzy and the other for ourselves, very colourful so you get an idea of how to present the soup and "when I don't cook a lot chap" what ingredients look like. making soup in the soup maker is so easy with a book like this to guide you,
