The New Covent Garden Food Company was founded in 1988 to make homemade quality soup using entirely natural ingredients, and despite many imitators over the past eighteen years New Covent Garden are still the bestsellers in the fresh soup market. This enduring popularity is a result of New Covent Garden's continuous passion for fresh soup, which they expound as the ultimate, easy-to-make, healthy, delicious meal.

Soup and Beyond is New Covent Garden's second book, now reissued with a new cover that reflects the company's latest branding, and this time they have not stopped at just soups. Alongside over fifty new soup recipes, readers will find an exciting range of bean dishes - including home-made baked beans, dal, Israeli falafel and many more - together with a fantastic selection of breads and other garnishes which add a new layer of flavour, texture, substance and colour, and contribute to a wonderful mealtime experience.
