Introduction
For the purposes of this book, there are only two types of people in this world. Those who slurp and those who dont. Those who eat their soups in cups and those who eat soups in bowls. There is no in-between for either, and were curious to know which type of person you are. Fortunately, weve got more than enough time and recipes to get to know each other well enough! Since youre already here and were going to be spending a lot of time together, were going to come clean. Were soup slurpers who like to eat soup in cups. What about you?
To be honest, we dont really mind how you choose to eat your soup as long as you enjoy it! But we have a feeling youll like our soups so much, even if slurping is considered impolite where youre from. Also, because we dont know what kind of home-cook you are, weve made all our recipes easy to follow for all-level cooks. That means even if you burn water, you should be able to get through our recipes with a delicious end result without burning a lot of brain cells!
