And with all the profits being invested into Cook for Good's food-based community programme, it's destined to become a feel-good favourite.
Chapters include:
A WORLD OF CHICKEN SOUP
Every culture has its own chicken soup, which is known as a comfort food with almost magical healing powers. These are our favourites.
TWO WAYS WITH...
Inventive ways to make the most of seasonal veg, turning an everyday ingredient into a couple of special meals.
USE IT UP
Fantastic recipes that you can assemble from the odds and ends in your fridge or freezer and avoid having to go to the shops.
A MEAL IN A BOWL
Hearty, chunky soups that are a meal in themselves without needing anything on the side (and tend to be light on washing up, too).
NO STRESS BREADS
Easy ways to make delicious, fresh loaves, with no clever machines, aged starters or special skills required.

Praise for Soup for Good
"If you love soup as much as I do, this is the only book you will ever need." Stanley Tucci
"To offer a bowl or mug of soup to someone is an act of cosiness and connection. And that is what Cook for Good offers, with this book and every day." Nigella Lawson
"Cook for Good is a brilliant initiative, using food and cooking to reduce food poverty and social isolation." Gordon Brown, former Prime Minister

From the back cover
When a Cook for Good team member shared a flask of homemade soup with a volunteer at their community Pantry in London's King's Cross, it was the start of something special. Before long, the team had established a weekly soup cafe and fuelled an obsession with soup that spread across the whole community.
Soup for Good shares our community's favourite recipes and tells the stories of some of its much-loved characters. With a foreword by Nigella, this beautifully illustrated book includes soups donated by our food-loving supporters, including former Prime Minster, Gordon Brown, Ed Balls, Karan Gokani, and Nigella herself, along with the food businesses who have helped us on our way.
Soup for Good is a celebration of soup and community, and the perfect expression of the power of cooking to change lives and bring people together.
