In three days, this exciting book from Amber Locke will hit the bookshelves. On line, you can get a head start now. You probably want to do that.

In this successor to her lovely book Nourish, Amber answers two questions: can there be really new soup ideas and can soup be beautiful, as beautiful as art? The answers are yes and yes. Here is the proof, her Carrot, Couscous and Chard Soup.
The recipes here overflowing with flavor, the pictures with color. Less than a dozen ingredients, an hour of time, and your kitchen will be radiant. Here are a dozen of the best ideas in Savor:
Curried Greens and Coconut with coconut cream, cinnamon, garlic, broccoli, and even tomato paste
Sweet Potato and Pear with cream cheese
Watermelon Gazpacho with cucumber, bel peppers and jalapeno
Raw Avocado and Cucumber
Purple Potato, the color a Roman emperor’s toga
Root Soup made from beets, carrots, and parsnips
Raw Bell Pepper, Orange and Tomato accented with carrot juice
Sparkline Pineapple with a Prosecco base and the punch of ginger
Chilled Persian Yogurt Soup with pistachios, pink peppercorns, dill, mint, and rose petals
Chilled Sweet Yogurt Soup with edible flowers and strawberries
Chocolate Puddle Soup made with cocoa powder and maple syrup, complete with strawberries, raspberries and pomegranate seeds
Spring Noodle with green chile, ginger, asparagus, peas and rice noodles
No, you haven’t seen these before. Or tasted them before. These are new soup adventures that await you. If you thought soup was something that comes out of a red, or a blue, can, then you’ve got an eye awakening experience before you. Savor is a notable book, as good as a soup book can be, as good as cookbook can be. Enjoy it. One bowl and a time.
Three days.
