Every Season is Soup Season cookbook cover

I am beyond excited to announce that my newest cookbook is finally up for pre-order! I’ve been working on this book for the past two+ years and it’s so exciting to know that you all will be able to get your hands on it in just a few months!

When I first started this book project, I thought I was going to create a comprehensive book about soups. It didn’t take long of asking friends and family about their favorite soup recipes to discover soup is an incredibly personal and often times an emotional food that is as much attached to comforting memories as it is to the soup’s flavor. This made me quickly realize that it would be impossible to try to improve on these nostalgic recipes (although you will find a few familiar soup recipes in here like Broccoli Cheddar and Corn Chowder) and instead focus on a fresh take on soups for this book. For me, a fresh take meant three things; first, I wanted to include recipes that felt familiar enough that you’d crave them just by looking at the photo but also felt new enough that you wanted to try these instead of turning to your usual soup recipes. Secondly, I wanted to bring soup out of just the cold months they are associated with and showcase recipes that can be enjoyed all year long. This meant incorporating a healthy mix of cold, warm, rich, light, creamy, filling, and chunky soups to fit any time of year. Lastly, I wanted to showcase that soups can tick an array of boxes: economical and comforting but also luxurious and modern, a light start to a meal or a hearty entree centerpiece, a humble weeknight meal or a dinner party dessert. We’ve got a little bit of everything in this book for everyone and every occasion!

Oh and did I mention each soup recipe comes with suggestions on how to re-purpose the leftovers to enjoy for days to come? I give quick tips on how to jazz up your leftover soup by adding in greens, grains, sauces, and toppings and then I also give more in-depth re-purpose recipes that create completely new meals out of your leftover soup (think mac and cheese, frittatas, empanadas, lettuce wraps, etc)! Each soup recipe also comes with suggestions on how to make on the stove, in an Instapot, or in a slow cooker. And last but not least, there is an entire chapter on breads and salads to fill out your soup meal.

WHY PRE-ORDER?

All this is to say that I think you are going to LOVE Every Season is Soup Season and I’d truly appreciate it if you would consider pre-ordering a copy! The book comes out September 19th but pre-ordering a copy is really important for authors as it allows our publishers to see what the demand is for the book (in case they need to make more) and gives them some numbers to use when pitching it to press outlets.

Also, did I mention that this comes out right when the weather starts to turn chilly for most of the US so it’ll be the perfect inspiration for all of your fall cooking!?

    This sounds absolutely amazing! I love soups, so this book looks like not only a must-buy, but also a must-preorder! As someone who cooks for one, I’m especially excited about the repurposing of leftovers into new meals. And batch cooking, slow cooker instructions, and bread/salad sides — this book sounds like it pretty much has it all. Thank you so much for working on and bringing this book into the world!

    Best wishes on your new book; may it bless many lives as much as I’m sure it’ll bless mine. 🙂
