The Delia Collection: Soup

Arranged for the first time by subject, the irrepressible Delia Smith releases her ultimate eight part collection with classics, favourites and all new recipes, let's look closer at this book masters soup.

this is a new collection of recipes taken from Delia's files, which span 33 years of recipe writing and television. The Delia Collection - a series currently planned to contain eight titles in all, currently 4 titles released. In compiling the Collection, Delia has chosen her best and most popular recipes - updating old favourites and adding some that are completely new. These are books aimed both at experienced cooks and at newcomers to homecooking who can be sure that, with Delia's friendly and approachable style, they will be guided by a trusted hand through her fail-safe recipes.

The first book in the series is a collection of over 50 soup recipes. Delia believes strongly in home-made soups, using good quality fresh ingredients, and here the reader will discover a wealth of ideas for nourishing, satisfying, tasty and often low-calorie soups.

Mouthwatering photography and easy to follow recipes. Some great classics with a new spin on the creative side for presentation. For those of you who like to try something a new and creative there are some inspiring ideas. But if you're looking for something quick, easy and tasty, she's got that too. The Delia Collection: Soup, is beautifully published and would make the ideal gift. My personal party favorite would be Chestnut Soup with Bacon and Thyme Croutons & Chilled Lemon Grass and Coriander Vichyssoise, but don't look past those old favourites either.
