"In theory, I should love this book, because I love to make soup. But while I occasionally mine it for an idea, I almost never cook directly from the book. It sits on the shelf, its destiny unfulfilled. Some of the recipes call for ingredients -- heavy cream, dashi, beef brisket AND a pig's foot -- I just don't use. I even like a couple of the recipes a lot. The method I use to make onion soup is almost the same as James Peterson's. But I use the recipe/technique deemed too time-consuming that Cooks Illustrated rejected for its own adaptation. It appealed to me in another cookbook, not this one. I've made the Indian-Style Corn Soup and like it well enough that I try to keep it in the freezer. So, why don't I like this book more? I'd say it's some quality of sterility in the approach, or a lack of passion for the topic, or the words just don't get me salivating like other cookbooks, but I still might not be putting my finger on it. One of the reasons I bought this was the number of pages devoted to fish and seafood soups, a huge weakness on my part. The fruit soup recipes also appealed to me. So, I might leave this one out (I can tolerate visual nagging), to remind me it's there. If I still haven't warmed to it by the time I get around to dusting the kitchen again, it goes to the library, to meet its fate."
