Simple Recipes for All Seasons.
Here are thirty easy recipes for delicious soups using a blender, spice grinder or food processor. These time-saving appliances are used to blend the whole soup, sometimes the filling for wonton, sometimes the spice paste for an Asian soup, or perhaps a pesto or sauce to serve with a Mediterranean classic. Some are smooth, some have texture.
Fresh vegetables are the star ingredient in recipes such as Coconut Vichyssoise, Sweet Potato Soup with Chillies and Lemongrass, and a fresh and icy Yellow Gazpacho. Fish, meat and poultry soups include an Asian Fish Soup with Ginger and Tomatoes and a blended spice paste and Provencal Fish Soup with a blended Rouille.
Beans, peas, nuts and lentils are the star ingredients in delicious recipes such as Creamy French Almond Soup or a Jamaican Bean Soup with Chillies. Chilled fruit soups are perfect for summer parties - try Mango Soup with Ginger and Champagne, icy Watermelon Soup with Chilli Flakes, and chilled Rockmelon Soup with Japanese Pink Pickled Ginger.
Quick, easy and delicious, these soups blend the classic with the unusual in a collection from around the world. They're perfect for dinner parties, easy meals for one, or as happy informal lunches and dinners with friends.
