Soup Makes the Meal

We eat on the run so often these days that it's become even more important to focus on preparing balanced, nourishing food. The book is divided into 50 menus, each including a soup, a bread, and a salad recipe whose flavors harmonize, although the separate elements can also be mixed and matched. Best of all, the soups don't require home-made stock, many (but not all) of the breads are quick breads, and the salads range from light to hearty.
