The Soup Mix Gourmet: 375 Short-Cut Recipes Using Dry and Canned Soups to Create Everything from Delicious Dips and Sumptuous Salads to Hearty Pot Roasts and Homey Casseroles

Product Details

Mainstream short-cut cooking at its best, with 375 recipes that use dry soup mix or canned condensed soup as a key flavor ingredient.





Diane Phillips, celebrated cookbook author, culinary school instructor, and brand spokesperson, presents a pantry full of helpful, timesaving suggestions in The Soup Mix Gourmet. Packed with over 375 recipes, the book uses soup mixes, starters, and pre-made condensed soups as key components for all of the dishes, making them easy and quick to prepare. But her recipes should surprise and delight even those who enjoy spending hours in the kitchen. The use of Lipton Savory Herb with Garlic makes a nice rub for a Holiday Standing Rib Roast, while Campbell's Condensed Cream of Chicken soup creates an appealing element when used in Chicken Piccata. Lipton Onion Soup is mixed with sour cream for a chip-and-dip staple; Top Ramen Salad is suggested for potluck dinners; and Beef and Onion Soup enlivens the standard pot roast. For every vegetable, pasta, meat, and marinade, there appears to be a soup mix destined to enhance it. With the time saved in this comprehensive and inventive book, the family and guests may slow down enough to actually enjoy a meal. --Teresa Simanton

Great Big Book Full of Great Recipes - Darena Dorsey - The South, USA
I was so excited when I received this cookbook. I have a few other soup cookbooks but they each feature about 100 recipes. This one has a whopping 375 recipes. The book is a nice, large, hardback. It doesn't have glossy pages or pictures of the food but I will swap that for the shear volume of recipes included in this book.

The book features recipes starting with soup mixes which I've always kind of used soup mixes when I made homemade soup anyway, they add alot of flavor but this book uses soup mixes to make all kinds of recipes. That was something that I didn't realize when I purchased the book. Who knew that you could make cheesecake with Campbell's Soup? The vegetable and bread recipes are just as delicious as the soup recipes in the book.

Great book. Highly recommend.
