In compiling the Collection series of cookbooks, Delia has chosen her best and most popular recipes, updating old favourites and adding some that are completely new. These recipe books are aimed both at experienced cooks and at newcomers to homecooking who can be sure that, with Delia's friendly and approachable style, they will be guided by a trusted hand through her fail-safe recipes. The first book in the series is this collection of over 50 soup recipes. Delia believes strongly in home-made soup, using good quality fresh ingredients, and here the reader will discover a wealth of ideas for nourishing, satisfying, tasty and often low-calorie soup.
