"Of soup and love, the first is best." Brother Victor-Antoine makes a passionate case for this Spanish proverb in Twelve Months of Monastery Soups, bringing easy, delicious, soul-satisfying soup recipes from the monastery to your kitchen. From simple, clear broths to thick, hearty soups, there's a recipe to appeal to every taste. Arranged by month with an eye toward seasonal variety and at least one recipe for every vegetable native to North America, the 175 soups include classic favorites such as Cream of Corn and Tomato and more unique recipes such as Jerusalem Artichoke, Provenal Rainbow, and Danish Onion-Champagne. With inspirational quotes proclaiming the goodness of soup sprinkled throughout and beautiful period block prints, Twelve Months of Monastery Soups is a celebration of the art of soup-making.

Summary: Truly a Cookbook Worth Owning
Comment: I bought this book when I started growing my own vegetables. The first time I decided to try one of the recipes, I went out to my own garden and picked zucchini, leeks and basil then followed the Cold Zucchini Soup recipe. This has to be the best zucchini soup recipes I have ever used! With one success under my belt (in more ways than one) I started to tackle all the other recipes in the book. To date I only have a few left to try. Almost all the choices are recipes I would be delighted to repeat. I actually used this book to plan out my 2009 garden to be sure I have the right ingredients on hand.
The recipes are well laid out and extremely easy to follow for beginner to advanced cook. Some recipes have a bit of history included on the page such as the Beguine Cream Soup telling of its origins. I would say this is the most stained book in my library from over use. You will not be sorry investing in this delightful treasure trove of soup recipes!

Summary: Lots of cream!
Comment: When this book arrived I read it through immediately. I was hoping for a book of soups that I can use for weight control while not feeling cheated. However, there is an overwhelming quantity of recipes with cream in them. That makes this book not helpful for people with allergies, dairy intolerance, vegetarian leanings, cholesterol problems, or weight issues. I'm disappointed. Nevertheless, I'm heartened by the reviews of the recipes here, so I will try the ones that are suited to my diet needs and hope for the best.

Comment: Twelve Months of Monastery Soups
I bought this book to help with my column in my Master Gardener newsletter. My recipes are chosen to utilized the bounty from our gardens. This book does this well, I use it often, always giving credit to the Monks. While reading this book I can almost feel the Monks next to me. It is a lovely feeling any time I use it. Each month they feature a recipe using the produce that is in season, Squash soup for November and so on. If you love soup this book is one you will enjoy. You will also lake some of the comments at the bottom of the page for each month.

Summary: Tasty!
Comment: I bought this originally just wanting another soup cookbook, as I tend to live off soups. While other soup cookbooks seem to thrive off 20 different competing flavors, these soups thrive on their very simplicity. It makes both eating and making the soup like a meditation. You'll be amazed how a soup so simple can taste so good. You dont need tons of spices and different steps to appreciate the basic(and yummy!) taste of the vegetables.
