[Iwasaki] brings readers quick and easy soups that will leave them warm and full...This is a wonderful book to have on hand for a quick and easy meal. --Booklist Don't write off soup as only something to eat when you're sick, during the winter, or as a side dish. This book will reshape how you might see soup fitting into your mealtime repertoire, while giving you a healthy, easy-to-make and delicious mealtime option. --Nichi Bei Weekly Food writer Iwasaki makes a strong English-language debut with this wonderful collection of Japanese soup recipes...This will be a great resource for home cooks looking to expand their repertoires. --Publishers Weekly This little book covers a lot!...I highly recommend Japanese Soups! I want to share copies of this book as gifts this year (along with a package of Kombu, to make it a little Japanese Soup kit). --Oak Blue Designs blog
