Favorite soupbook?
While I lived in Poland, we had soup as a first course for lunch every day, and I rarely had any of it. I just wasn't into soup. But ever since I left, it's all I want to eat! (Ok, soup and burritos. Thank goodness I have access to burritos again.) I've been looking around for some good soup cookbooks, but I would love your recommendations. What is your favorite, most slammin'est soupbook?

Splendid Soups: Recipes and Master Techniques for Making the World's Best Soups by James Peterson

The Best Soups & Stews, published by Cook's Illustrated magazine, is an inexpensive cookbook. A good place to start, but you could also find many, many recipes for free just browsing the internet.

If you can find a copy of The New York Times Bread And Soup cookbook by Yvonne Tar Young, it's great. I also like Crescent Dragonwagon's Dairy Hollow House Soup & Bread Cookbook - it's still in print in paperback. They're both oldies but goodies.

Everything I've made from the Daily Soup cookbook has been excellent, although it's a bit on the complicated side. I also love Deborah Madison's recipes, and she has a soup book (vegetarian).

Don't laugh, but I just got the Swanson Homemade Soups Made Simple this year and really like it. Simple and quick ideas. Plus it was like $8 at Barnes & Noble on sale.

The CIA soup book. It's about $30, and has both classic and modern soup recipes. Cooking Light has some nice recipes. But my favorite ones are from stolen recipes.

I second Deborah Madison's Vegetable Soups, you don't have to be a vegetarian to appreciate it (I'm not). I also really like The Ultimate Soup Bible (edited by Anne Sheasby) and published by Barnes and Noble.
