Could not be better. I send all sorts of soups, chili's, baked potatos, mac and cheese, etc. with my kiddos for lunch. They have a nice warm, healthy lunch every time we use it.

I was skeptical of the claims, but I've never used a thermos so was not sure what to expect.
I prepared the meal at 10am. Boiled water for miso in the bottom tier, rice filled the middle section with a bit of meat, and veggie side on top. Lunch at 2pm, I get everything out and the soup is too hot to eat yet, the rice seems the same temp as when i put it in, the veg side is room temperature as expected. Everything was absolutely wonderful!

I used a rice maker from the same company using a 13 hour timer to set the rice last night for it to be ready when i made the lunch in the morning. Perfection.

Would DEFINITELY purchase again.

I can't live without this thing. I sit in front of my laptop and eat soup right out of the skillet. Easy to clean and makes perfect soup every time!

Full disclosure: I love soup.  So my review is inherently biased.  But you want this cookbook.  These recipes are easy, most of them are delicious, relatively healthy and a good mix of omnivore and vegetarian recipes.  I wish every soup had its own picture but the pictures that are there are very well-done.  There are no weird, hard-to-find ingredients and no over the top techniques best left to the pros or serious amateurs.  In fact, if you are looking for a cooking challenge, this book will bore you.  If i had time to make my own stock I could chastise her for her technique for adding bouillon cubes to "home-made" stock but I don't, so I won't.  I use store-bought stock and the soups are still delicious.  There are recipes in the back for sandwiches that look and sound really good but I have had so much fun making soup that I haven't done any of those.
  The very first soup I made was a lima bean soup.  I hate lima beans but I loved that soup.  In retrospect, I'm not sure why I chose that as my first recipe out of this book but I'm glad I did as it has made me open to trying recipes I wouldn't normally bother with.  The book is well organized starting with various stock recipes (none of which I have made), then chicken soups, tomato soups, chowders, and then by season.  The summer soups are mostly cold fruit soups- not my thing- and I haven't made any.  The ones I made that I will make again and again:  1.  Eggplant parmesan soup - it's worth buying this book just for this recipe it's that good.  2.  Black bean and sausage- outstanding.  3.  Mulligatawny- so, so very good.  Now I know why Seinfeld made an episode just about this soup.
  I love this book and use it once a week when the weather is getting cooler.  There's no attitude in this book.  Some authors make you feel like a failure for not making stock or implying that soup made without it isn't even worth making.  This author doesn't.  No special equipment is necessary but you will likely need a new soup pot.  These recipes make a lot of soup.  Most are for twelve servings so get a big pot or halve the recipe.  An immersion blender comes in handy but a regular blender will suffice.  I used this book as an excuse to get an immersion blender and it's now my favorite kitchen gadget of all.  I need to write a review of that too.  Other than that, buy this book and make some soup!

At first I was very reluctant to get this item because of the price, but after considering how much I was spending in restaurants and cafeterias I decided to get it, and was very pleased. My food was kept hot on the soup recipient for about 6 hours! When finally I got to eat and opened the lid it was smoking hot, couldn't believe it, was very pleased.

Besides, is big enough to fit all sorts of meals on it. What I've found so far more practical is to always have soup in the soup container, and rice with vegetables and meat in the middle container, and it the top some snack food or fruit that could be fine at room temperature. The amount of food that it can hold is enough for a entire meal, and sometimes I had to have it in two parts, which was not a problem because it's temperature was kept.

The flavor of the food remains intact, since it's odorless, specially in comparison with the cheap plastic containers that get a microwave stink in your food after you microwave. This feels like homemade food right out off the pot, everywhere, and at anytime.

I grew up in the UK and in the winter my mum would make big pots full of soup so we had a warm and delicious meal when we got home. It was something I loved then and still do now, even though I live in a rather warm spot, and cold winter days are few and far between -I still crave a nice bowl of soup when the hint of fall arrives. However, though I am able to replicate some of those soups -lentil and peas examples, the rest were traditional meat based soups like Oxtail and Cawl (a Welsh soup made with brisket) and as a vegetarian I need more ideas which was why I decided to buy this book.

This book has 100 recipes which is a good start, and every single one of them, a healthy plant based soup. The book begins with a brief look overall at the topic of soup, some principles of creating a super food soup and basics  good fats, seasonings, aromatics, beans, soup composition, and some super food essentials . On the latter it is worth knowing that this is a book that will require you pick up some items at a specialist shop  -think medicinal mushrooms, super berries, sea vegetables , seeds , grains  -I am sure you can substitute (and there is a cheat sheet at the back) but note recipes feature maca, spirulina powder, dulse, wheatgrass powder. This was the one thing I did not love, for though I have many of these, if you do not, you will spend a pretty penny acquiring them and having been there with other books, its a pain!
Then there are useful tips such as cheat sheets on cooking with super foods, cost breakdown,  pantry ideas, health benefits, before delving into soups lead by broths  including those for energy, detox, beauty and healing which in a concept I love about this book.

Then we go to chilled soups, which loving in a hot area I loved, and this goes so much more beyond just a traditional gazpacho - I loved the carrot, ginger and cannot wait to try the coconut turmeric.  Then we have creamy soups, such as a corn soup or greens soup and a new take on a potato leek soup. Many of these I should note are accompanied by stunning pictures such as the truffled asparagus soup.  This is followed by brothy and noodle soups with a take on tortilla soup using chia seeds or a miso noodle soup, there is ramen, Pad Thai and some very creative , way out ideas such as green tea soup!

We then go to chowders and porridges,, the kitchari is my absolute favorite as I love this dish and this recipe is simpler than most; then stews and chili, followed by accouterments  - garnishes, horseradish cream , pesto or even coconut bacon bits.  Followed by a useful guide on sourcing some of these ingredients!

This is a great, creative cookbook, full of super food soups that will keep me warm, happy and healthy all winter!

We have made several of the soups from this book and every one was superb.  The minestrone and the beef barley are two of the best soups I have ever eaten.  You must get this book and try a few recipes.

Using the entire pkg of three socks, I made my chicken soup for the holiday, and what a difference it made with both time and cleanup! I put about 11lb of cut up chix in one sock (I was floored that I fit 3 chix in one sock!!), all of the vegetables that I was NOT keeping in another sock, and the carrots (that I typically have to sift out and rinse before returning to the broth) in the 3rd sock. AMAZING!! So easy to just lift out the bag with the tongs, drain it a little in a mixing bowl, so as not to lose too much soup, then toss what I didn't want. The chicken I was able to take out, cut open and put right into Tupperware. The carrot bag, I removed while straining the broth, then cut it open and returned them.

So much easier, and even my dad, who would have complained in a heartbeat had he known I did something different, was going on and on that it was my best soup yet! Just too bad the biggest pack of them I can find is 12 (and its not cheaper that way), because its so much less of a hassle to make the soup now!

Very well seasoned, not too salty, thick hunks of white meat chicken, tasty dumplings, wonderful broth. This is my favorite soup! Along with crackers or a grilled cheese it's a wonderful quick meal. Veggies are plentiful and fresh tasting. I wholeheartedly recommend this.

These soup mixes are really convenient and the ingredients used are of really high quality. They are essentially an easy way to make a high quality soup right at home without having to worry about measuring or running around to find the right ingredients. Found these at a craft fair 2 years ago and have been using them since. The owner of this business is awesome too which makes supporting this business a pleasure while also enjoying these high quality soups. Highly recommended!

I make a lot of veggie soups... sauteed veggies, broth, seasonings, and blend. Maybe a bit of cream. Delicious and this product makes it SO much easier now that I don't have to pour hot soup in my blender!
