Summary
Summary
Hearty and healthy recipes straight from an authentic Japanese kitchen!
Soup is an integral part of the traditional Japanese meal--whether a delicate miso soup in a lacquered bowl to be sipped as you eat your rice, or a rich and flavorful broth poured over a noodle dish. In this book, Japanese culinary expert Keiko Iwasaki shares the homemade soup recipes that she makes regularly for her family and friends at home--ranging from filling one-pot meals to light and tasty accompaniments.
Recipes include: Japanese-Style Oyster Chowder Egg Soup with Shrimp and Napa Cabbage Pork Belly Soup with Vegetables Sesame Miso Soup with Beef and Watercress Summer Vegetable Soup Curried Tomato Soup with Pork Meatballs And many more--66 in all!
All the soups in this book are made from homemade stocks that use healthy ingredients such as konbu seaweed or shiitake mushrooms, so that they are natural and additive free. The soup recipes themselves are based largely on vegetables, which are combined with seafood and meat to maximize the nutritional balance. They are also low calorie, and naturally gluten free.
One of the main differences between Japanese and Western soups is that Japanese soups are cooked lightly rather than simmered for a long time. By following the recipes in this book, you can quickly and easily rustle up a warm bowl of soup to soothe your soul after a busy day.

Publisher's Weekly Review
Food writer Iwasaki makes a strong English-language debut with this wonderful collection of Japanese soup recipes. She begins with a rundown of the benefits of soup (among other things, it is "gentle on the body" and easy to make) before providing detailed instructions for making several types of dashi, or stock, from scratch. Soups run the gamut from a hearty peanut miso soup with pork and vegetables to a simple turnip soup garnished with citrus zest. To soothe late-night cravings after a night on the town, mountain yam and okra soup can be made in 20 minutes (and is filled with antioxidants). And there's a Japanese twist on a classic Thai tom yum soup, which includes soy sauce, shrimp, and ginger. In addition to recipes, Iwasaki sprinkles tips throughout, like using in-season vegetables for optimal flavor and garnishing and finishing dishes with attention paid to both appearance and flavor. This will be a great resource for home cooks looking to expand their repertoires. (Feb.)
Booklist Review
Iwasaki, the author of several cookbooks published in her native Japan, brings readers quick and easy soups that will leave them warm and full. She details the health benefits of Japanese soups and the rules for making them, including fish soups, meaty soups, vegetable soups, quick soups, mini hot pots, and main dishes. She offers information and recipes for eating in season and offers a photo glossary of Japanese ingredients. Each recipe contains a photo of the soup, a short summary, calorie count, a picture of the ingredients, and the health benefits of the soup. The instructions are numbered, with many recipes containing only three steps. This makes dishes like tofu potage, ginger soup with bonito flakes, and carrot-ginger soup easy to read and follow. This is a wonderful book to have on hand for a quick and easy meal.
