Everyone knows chicken soup is good for the soul, not to mention good for getting
over a cold. For that matter, though, most every kind of soup renews and soothes
us. It seems to be true the world over, which is why we've flitted around the
globe for a week's worth of quick, tasty, and satisfying liquid meals, from
Canadian Cheese Soup With Pumpernickel Croutons to Provencale Shellfish Stew.
These jet-set soups can be on the table in a flash, too. Because they use convenience
products such as high-quality canned vegetables and broths, there's no need
for these one-pot recipes to simmer for hours on the stove. Yet there's no loss
of flavor or richness; all these recipes retain the character and taste of more
time-consuming homemade versions. When a hot bowl of soup is just what you want
-- and you want it tonight -- you'll find everything you need right here.
Freezing tips: All of these soups freeze well for up
to two months. Pour them into airtight containers, leaving enough room for expansion
(about 1 to 2 inches at the top of each container). To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator,
and place the contents in a saucepan over low heat, adding some water or chicken
broth, if necessary.
