You can actually make better-tasting soups and smoothies of your own - at home. And they are so quick and easy that you will eat them every week - whenever you are pushed for time. Making Imaginative, mouthwatering meals doesn't mean spending time in the kitchen any more.

Every recipe has been tested to ensure that it is easy to make and that the flavours will bounce off the palate. So whether you want fast food, good nutrition or some fantastic soup starters for your next round of entertaining, this is the book to deliver great-tasting ideas. Look at what you could put on next week's menu: Spinach and herbed cream cheese soup, Thai rice cream soup with lime, lemon grass and prawns, Broccoli and stilton soup with toasted almonds, Creamy avocado and asparagus beef soup, Plum, marmalade and apple smoothie.
