Fearless Broths and Soups: Ditch the Boxes and Cans with 60 Simple Recipes for Real People on Real Budgets

In Search of the Perfect Healthy Meal

You know you want to start eating healthy, but it seems too complicated, too expensive, and too time-consuming. Maybe you suffer from insomnia or skin disorders. Maybe it’s digestive ailments like IBS or ulcers. Maybe you’ve been diagnosed with osteoporosis. There’s no shortage of diet information on the internet these days, but it seems a little extreme for your tastes. Isn’t there a way to get back to basics? Isn’t there a way to eat healthy and maybe even resolve some of your health issues without resorting to cutting out major food groups?

Convenience Doesn’t Have to Cost You Your Health

Maybe your health concerns aren’t so dramatic, but you still want to feed your family the best food you can. Maybe you’re just looking for a meal you can put on the table in mere minutes after you get home from work. Something hearty, satisfying, and healthy that you can prepare ahead of time and have ready for any meal of the day. The solution to convenient, healthy meals won’t be found in any box, can, or package. All you’ll find there is MSG, trans fats, and “natural” flavors. No, the solution to a simple, hearty meal will start in your stockpot.

Soup, It’s What’s for Dinner

Craig Fear knows soup. Not in a pretentious, chef-y way, but in a way your grandmother might, and he’s collected his best recipes in Fearless Broths and Soups. Affordable, nourishing, and fast–that’s what this book is about. Gain confidence in the kitchen. Get your kids (and fellow adults) to like broccoli.
