National Trust, Soups (Maggie Ramsay)

I really love this book about soups. It covers a really wide range of soups: vegetarian, soup as a meal, pulses and grains etc. All the basics are explained, including making stock, and plenty of tips are shared which will allow the reader to use this book as a start point to modify the recipes and create their own versions of these soups.
There is also an interesting chapter on accompaniments, like dukkah, flavoured oils, breads etc. It is nice to have these possible additions to a nice bowl of soup and to mix and match to taste. It is a useful add-on that this book provides.
Although the book does not contain photos of the dishes, it is very nicely illustrated and the recipes are well explained and presented.
A must have to get ready for the cooler days of autumn and winter, but there are ideas for hot climates and soup lovers with a sweet tooth.
A really lovely book.
