Soup is the ultimate comfort food: warm, filling and satisfying. It is also extremely good for you - most soups are low in fat and packed with nutrients, especially if they are homemade.

Hamlyn All Colour Cookbook: 200 Soups provides you with recipes for everything from classic favourites, such as Potato and parsley soup, to exotic new ideas. The book also contains a section on chilled soups, perfect for when the weather begins to get warmer. Each recipe is accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions and a full page colour photograph to ensure perfect results every time.
