Author Julia Gousseva grew up in the Soviet Union where soups were a solution to constant food shortages and scarcity of ingredients. To survive, everyone made soups: they are easy to cook, low in cost, and require just a few ingredients to feel like a meal. As the Iron Curtain fell away, the Russian diet became more varied, but soups continue to occupy a prominent place in cookbooks, kitchens, and restaurants. With this easy cookbook filled with soup recipes, you will be able to make delicious meals in your slow cooker, crock pot, or a regular soup pot. In the Soviet Union, nobody had slow cookers or crock pots, so all soups were always cooked in pots on stoves. But you can decide how you want to make these recipes. Soups are great if you are trying to lose some weight but find it not so easy to find time to make healthy meals. These recipes are perfect if you find fad diets ineffective, complicated, and boring, resorting to unhealthy fast food. Or, maybe you have a slow cooker but it's collecting dust. The recipes will help this problem, too! Or, maybe you don't have a slow cooker but find that all soup recipes and most easy cookbooks require a slow cooker or a pressure cooker? No worries.

However, this easy cookbook will make you into an almost instant cook with its variety of delicious soup recipes.
