CH Splendid Soups - VinceF - 11-16-2010
Just wanted to let everyone know that the CH Splendid Soups special issue is one of their great works. I use it often and weekly during the winter. All the soups are very good and the sides are matched beautifully. This issue changes soup from a unremarkable forethought to the star of the meal. I also like that CH has the no nonsense approach, no long list of un-needed ingredients.

You're right, VinceF! It is a great collection of soups!
Re: CH Splendid Soups - cjs - 11-16-2010
I certainly agree - I think I've made more from this publication than any other.
Vince, when you have a minute, I hope you'll tell us a little about yourself - are you still working 'the kitchens'? What type of cooking do you prefer, if there is any?
Re: CH Splendid Soups - Sue_C - 11-16-2010
Thanks for the thumbs up, VinceF. I had read a lukewarm review of this one on the Cook's Illustrated boards, so I wasn't too sure. This is the one that also has stews and chilies; right?
Re: CH Splendid Soups - cjs - 11-16-2010
"Cook's Illustrated boards," - well, that sucks!! It's a great book!
And no, they are not the same books -
Splendid Soups & Spectacular Sides is one
(well, just counted this one also, and I've done 10 of them! but, most I also did the called for sides, so many more than the 10)
and
Soups, Stews, & Chilies is the other.
(I've done 10 out of this book and nothing below 'good!'
Re: CH Splendid Soups - Mare749 - 11-16-2010
I also have both and love them! Great books!
Vince, I was wondering the same thing. Would love to hear about your adventures in the culinary world.

Hi Sue C and welcome to the boards!
Vince does that book have a pumpkin soup recipe?
Re: CH Splendid Soups - cjs - 11-16-2010
(not Vince....) no, but does have a wonderful butternut squash soup that I think I gave a 10+
Re: CH Splendid Soups - Old Bay - 11-16-2010
Is this series available in book stores?
Wait!! Is this the Cuisine at Home Splendid Soups & Spectacular Sides? If so the CH threw me. I have the CAH one and love it!!
Re: CH Splendid Soups - Gourmet_Mom - 11-16-2010
Oh, I agree! This is a great book! I am looking forward to making more from this one AND the Stews and Chili book this winter.
Welcome, Sue! I hope you'll stick around. And whoever said this was a mediocre book is crazy!
