REVIEW Everything you've ever wanted to know about soup but had no one to ask. Every kind of imaginable soup to try and some you've never heard of. From hot consommes; Chilled & Jellied Consommes & Soups; Chilled, Hot & Jellied Beer, Fruit, Nut & wine Soup; Canned Soup Combinations; Cream Soups; Bisques; Chowders; Micellaneous Soups and even included are Ball Garnishes for soups; custard garnishes for soups; dumpling garnishes for soups and miscellaneous soup garnishes. Nothing more to ask for except that maybe Julia Child come to your house and fix them for you. Reviewer: Cynthia Yount (La Verne, CA USA), Amazon.com
