The French have always loved soup, and have always been the masters of creating them. Each comforting bowl can be as simple as Ham and Green Bean Soup or Vegetable Soup with Basil, or as sophisticated as Poached Oysters in Potato Leek Cream. Tradition and well known French soups are included too, with Chicken in a Pot and Country Sorrel and Potato Soup amongst the ninety plus recipes.
In this nation of small villages, each with unique traditions and customs, an incredible variety of soups has evolved over time, with cherished family recipes handed down from generation to generation. In this book, author Louis Anne Rothert uncovers these delightful recipes - many that are enjoyed today, plus others long forgotten - and reveals an intriguing culinary history.
This comprehensive cookbook is rich with glorious photographs illustrating the lush countryside, quaint villages and marketplaces overflowing with colourful, fresh produce. 'The Soups Of France' is an essential guide to the country's most beloved soups, a celebration of France and its heritage, and a culinary keepsake.
