Soup Club
ByPublisher Description
After a devastating brain cancer diagnosis, Caroline Wright told some new friends she was craving homemade soup, then found soup on her doorstep every day for months. She survived with a deep gratitude for soup and her community. In thanks and in their honor, she decided to start a weekly soup club delivering her own original healthful soup recipes to her friend's porches. Caroline's creative spirit and enthusiasm spread, along with the word of her club, and she soon was building a large community of soup enthusiasts inspired by her story.
is unlike any other soup book. Caroline's collection of recipes along with artwork, photography, and haiku from her members, tell a moving story of community, love, and health at its center. This unique cookbook proves that soup can be more than a filling meal, but also a mood and a feeling. Every soup can be made on the stove top and Instant Pot. The recipes are all vegan and gluten-free and include:

“I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley.
This book is the cutest book I've seen this year! There are so many great recipes and, among them, there are pictures of the author's family in black and white. The illustrations of the recipes are simply magnificent, and very well idealised. The book overall is very minimalist, and it's simply perfect. The recipes are very well explained and I'll definitively try out some of those, they are super interesting! I definitively recommend this book to any soup lover. Rating: a big 5/5 stars.”
“Soup Club began from the author's terminal cancer diagnosis. After the her friends delivered homemade soup to her during her illness, she decided to return the favor with a "Soup Club" delivery to her friends' porches. (And now, I not so low-key wish my friends would start a soup delivery club.)
As much a memoir as a cookbook, Soup Club details both the story of the author and her club. The recipes are healthy and plant-based, but the author does suggest some recipes might be good with ingredients such as egg or chicken added if you are so inclined. Personally, I don't use much added salt in my cooking, so I did find that the recipes as presented were a bit salty for my tastes. However, reducing or leaving the salt out all together, doesn't affect the success of the recipes at all. It's nice to see Instapot and stovetop versions of the recipes, as well as salads, breads, and a terrific cookie to accompany your soup. The illustrations of the soup, while not actual photographs, are lovely. I am a huge soup fan, and really enjoyed cooking my way through this collection. I am looking forward to getting a hard copy of this book for my cookbook collection.
I am so grateful to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review Soup Club.”
“A bowl of soup is far more than just sustenance to this author. It's love, friendship, hope and more. It is obvious this book was threaded together with love and care. I appreciated the Soup Club Story very much. The watercolor pictures for the food was a different and lovely touch. While photos of the actual dish are more detailed, the watercolor art was specific enough that I feel anyone can create the dish as pictured. Actually the watercolor paintings were beautifully done. The Soup Lady Wisdom was extremely helpful to me, especially the about using filtered water. Why had I not thought to try that before?! None of the recipes require you to make or use broth because as the author states, "who wants to make... a pot of soup before making another pot of soup?" Each recipe is complex in flavor but simple in instruction. I appreciated having two methods for each soup, the slower stovetop method and the quicker pressure cooker method. The only thing I would change is to add each recipe to the table of contents and maybe put both methods of the recipe together, rather than having them separated.
I received this ARC for free from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.”
