Title: Saved by "Saved by Soup"
Review: I found this book at the library. Brought it home, discovered that a previous reader had torn out a number of pages (!). Annoying, but probably a good recommendation. Anyway, I had some cauliflower in the fridge that I needed to use up. I decided to try the "curried cauliflower soup," something I don't think I ever would have tried if it weren't for the fact that I had the soup book and the cauliflower both together. As it turned out, the soup was easy and absolutely delicious, even though I couldn't use quite the correct amount of cauliflower called for, and I substituted chicken stock for the olive oil to save calories. The soup was savory, spicy, creamy -- perfect for a cold and damp February night. I'm amazed that such a simple soup has such good flavor. That's it, I said - if the other recipes are even half this good, the book is worth buying. I have it on back order at amazon now and I'm looking forward to trying out some of those missing recipes!
