Review:
I really enjoy a good bowl of soup and much prefer to eat pure, unprocessed food as it makes me feel so much better than how I feel if I eat lots of unhealthy, processed foods loaded with strange sounding artificial ingredients.
The recipes included may appear a little daunting to people who aren't used to cooking from scratch, but if they've already purchased the book I'll assume they have the motivation to actually cook the recipes too. Of course, there are lots of nifty gadgets that make it all a lot simpler too.
I've made a few soups from this book and I've really enjoyed them. I prefer a blended soup, so it was different for me to leave some in a chunky style, but I found them very tasty so I've learned that I like chunky soups too, and found them really filling.
The 2-day cleanse detail is a nice added bonus that seems to fit in well with the clean eating ethos and something other soup books probably wouldn't contain, so could well be this book's USP.
Special thanks to Ten Speed Press and NetGalley for providing an ARC in return for my honest review.

fermented's review against another edition
Netgalley provided me a free electronic copy of this book in exchange for a review.
Bone broth, anyone? If you ever wanted to learn how to make food that is medicine, like immune-boosting stocks and broths, you're in the right place. This book is perfect for people who want to learn how to cook soup without a recipe, but feel intimidated. There are recipes, of course - but what I love is the time and care the author spends explaining the basics of making a stock, and how to go with what you have. This book doesn't just dump a bunch of recipes in your lap. It really teaches you how to cook.
This is the perfect book to gift someone who wants to start eating healthier, but doesn't know where to start.
