10 Best Selling Soup & Stew Cookbooks
The high today in Pittsburgh might not even graze 60 degrees. Hellooooo fall! I’m officially ready for a huge pot of chili or beef stew, two of my all-time favorites once the weather cools off this much. I thought it would be a great time to do a roundup of some of the best selling soup and stew cookbooks to get you ready for the season. Sometimes I check out Amazon’s best seller lists to see what people have been buying, but yesterday saw something I hadn’t noticed before – a “Most Gifted” list. The books that have been purchased as gifts the most on Amazon.com. I like this list even better, because it’s likely that someone already owns the book and loves it enough that they want to share it with someone else. In my book, that’s the best gauge that something is worth buying! So without further ado, here are the 10 Most Gifted soup & stew cookbooks on Amazon.com…
1. The Italian Slow Cooker by Michele Scicolone
2. New England Soup Factory Cookbook by Marjorie Druker
3. Liquid Raw: Over 125 Juices, Smoothies, Soups, and Other Raw Beverages by Lisa Montgomery
4. Tagine: Spicy Stews from Morocco by Ghillie Basan
5. The Ski House Cookbook: Warm Winter Dishes for Cold Weather Fun by Tina Anderson
6. 500 Soups by Susannah Blake
7. The Williams-Sonoma Collection: Soup by Diane Rossen Worthington
8. Mr. Sunday’s Soups by Lorraine Wallace
9. The Best Soups in the World by Clifford A. Wright
10. Vegan Soups and Hearty Stews for All Seasons by Nava Atlas
My all-time favorite book in this category didn’t make this list, but wanted to make sure it was included!
Bonus (Michelle’s Favorite):
The Best Soups & Stews by Cook’s Illustrated Magazine Editors
Do you have a favorite cookbook for cool weather food? I’d love if you’d share below, I’m always looking for new cookbooks!
Wow!!!!! I love this post because I am a soup fanatic. So I just researched that some new ball books can not be endorsed but the extension centers. So I found a site that teaches how to “can” varieties of soup. https://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/nchfp/factsheets/soups.html
Now my plan is to buy at least one of these books you posted and start canning soup! You are the bomb! Thank you so much! Check—bookmarked!
I want the Italian Slow Cooker book. I saw it at Costco a few weeks ago and I should’ve bought it. I didn’t and now I regret it.
The house favorite is a Pillsbury paperback that my mother-in-law scored from the supermarket. My husband (the true family chef) makes several soups from it and they are simple crowd pleasers. BTW, what is your favorite soup cookbook?
Moroccan soups are my favorite! I’d love that cookbook.

Congratulations!!! Just read that you were voted most valuable blogger in Pittsburgh in the lifestyle category. Not surprising, but wonderful nonetheless :o)
Thank you Katy!
Oh yes, I definitely agree with “New England Soup Factory Cookbook.” A lady I used to work with gave me a big stack of cookbooks she didn’t want anymore and this was one of them. Lucky me because it has turned out to be one of my faves. I just posted my version of their corn chowder recipe – SO GOOD! Everything I’ve made from that book has been delicious.
Thanks for this great list! I’m definitely going to check them out and see which fits the bill for me. :) Always looking for fun and tasty winter soup or crock recipes.
I am a soup girl at heart, back home in Moldova we ate a lot of soup, now in NY me and my husband still keep the tradition and every weekend I will make soup to have for the rest of the week, it is very convinieny you just heat, for lunch or for dinner, or as a starter before main dish! Love all the suggestions from this post!
I’m like you, ANY cookbook from Cook’s Illustrated is my favorite. I have most of them and I’ve never had a recipe fail me yet.
Wonderful idea to find great cookbooks! So happy the weather is cooling off-it’s around 50 here in Kentucky. Hello soups, stews and casseroles!
That Tagine one looks really good. My favorite lately has been The Country Cooking of Ireland by Coleman Andrews. While it’s not technically a cold-weather book per se, it has all these hearty dishes that are just gorgeous. It won a bunch of James Beard awards the year it came out, and besides, you can never go wrong with Coleman Andrews.
I haven’t heard of a lot of these books. Thanks!
I don’t make soup that often, I should do that more.. It’s so good on those cold winter days, and easy to make the night or morning before.
What a great idea to look at the most gifted cookbooks. Another great post of yours I’m going to bookmark! Thank you.
