Gathering favorite recipes from ten inventive chefs, 1,001 Low-Fat Soups and Stews offers everything from old standbys and classics (slimmed down for today's health-conscious eaters) to boldly seasoned chilis, chowders, bisques, hearty vegetarian stews, fruit soups, and chilled soups. In addition to American dishes, there are favorites from Asia, the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe, including Lobster and Shrimp Chowder, Moroccan Chicken Stew with Couscous, Cuban Black Bean Soup, Boeuf Bourguignon, and Sweet Cherry Soup. Each recipe has a nutritional analysis and diabetic exchanges. A crash course on soup-making, a glossary, and an index are also included.

From the Author:
I really enjoy a hearty soup in the winter, even more than I like those cool, refreshing fruit soups I make in the summer in my kitchen in Long Beach, Indiana. I live on the Indiana/Michigan border, which has to be the heart of The Heartland! We are in what they call the snowbelt, and sometimes, when Chicago, which is only 30 miles west, gets two inches of snow, we'll get two feet. When the sun shines on the snow, and Lake Michigan roils under its thick coat of ice, I like to snuggle up in front of the fire with a good novel and a huge bowl of hot soup. The soups in this book are of couse low in fat, so I feel it's OK to eat a second helping of Barbequed Beef and Vegetable soup while I'm turning the pages.

Like most of you, I don't have enough time in my day for the things I have to do, let alone the things I want to do, like inventing delicious new recipes and serving them to my friends at a dinner party. That's why I tried to make the dishes in "1,001 Low-Fat Soups and Stews," and indeed in all my cookbooks, easy to prepare and quick to make. And keeping everything low in fat is a challenge, as we all know that fat tastes good! The secret is to replace most of the fat in a dish with aromatic herbs and spices, and I've had to do a lot of experimenting to get the amounts just right. A low-fat recipe may look intimidating as it typically has a long list of ingredients, but as they are often mostly herbs and spices, the job is really easy. A dash here, a shake there, a teaspoon of this and that, and you've got something quick, delicious, and healthy on the table in no time.

I hope you'll enjoy these recipes, just as I enjoyed creating and collecting them for you. If you have a question or comment, be sure to let me hear from you at Surrey Books, 230 E. Ohio St., Chicago, IL 60611.

Sincerely, Sue
