Souper book



I am looking for a few good soup recipes -- with conditions. The recipes must be low in calories, high in nutritional value and MUST also taste good. Impossible? Maybe, but I will try in January and February to see if that recipe exists. It may not be a "crowd-pleaser" but I will surely come something that my family will eat without groaning.

The first book I took off the shelf was this book by Robin Robertson, Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker.


Actually, it had a recipe I had to try right away, for slow -- cooker beans. It also has some soup and stew recipes I will be trying, but so far, nothing that makes me really excited. I have tried the Beans Bourginon recipe in another cookbook by the same author, but not the slow cooker version. I did like the recipe, cooked traditionally so I probably will like it slow cooked.

I also know I really like lentil soups and stews but I am usually disappointed in lentils cooked in the crockpot because they are usually over or undercooked.
