This week: Soup’s on, previews (including 2021 titles), cookbook giveaways and more

In Colorado, the weather is confused. This week we had temperatures in the 90s (°F) on one day and then the next we were in the 30s with icy rain and snow. I’m not complaining, I love fall and winter but trying to plan what we’re going to cook from one day to the next is a little up in the air. Literally.

Fall/autumn is soup weather for many. And winter’s frigid temperatures call for sustenance that is warm and comforting. While growing up in a small midwestern town and attending an even smaller elementary school, we always were served tomato soup and grilled cheese on Friday. Coming in from the blustery playground after a mean round of four-square, I couldn’t wait to sit down to that meal which warmed me from the inside out (yes it was cafeteria food, but it was good cafeteria food).

When it comes to soup, I will sometimes follow a new recipe but more often than not I follow a basic formula. A great example of this type of formula can be found in this article at Cook Smarts.

We have over 83,000 recipes for soup in our EYB Library (online recipes) as well as myriad cookbooks devoted to soup. Two new books are coming out very soon – Jenn Louis’ The Chicken Soup Manifesto: Recipes from Around the World and Drew Smith’s Soupology: The Art of Soup From Six Simple Broths . Both of these books look amazing.

A few of my favorite soup cookbooks include Mastering Stocks and Broths: A Comprehensive Culinary Approach Using Traditional Techniques and No-Waste Methods, New England Soup Factory Cookbook: More Than 100 Recipes from the Nation’s Best Purveyor of Fine Soup, Soup for Syria: Recipes to Celebrate Our Shared Humanity and Easy Soups from Scratch with Quick Breads to Match: 70 Recipes to Pair and Share. What are your favorite soup cookbooks or your go-to recipes? Leave us a comment.
