SEASON FOR SOUP

Nothing takes the chill off of a crisp fall day like a satisfying bowl of steamy hot soup - plain, fancy or somewhere in between.

Soups are but one satisfying category among an outstanding assortment of 214 recipes from regional community cookbooks across the country in "Better Homes and Gardens' America's Best Loved Community Recipes ($29.95, Meredith Books). Aptly named, the collection probably has something for every home cook to love: easy-to-find ingredients; easy-to-follow instructions; enticing photographs and recipe outcomes guaranteed by tests performed in the Better Homes and Gardens kitchens.

To receive a free copy of "Entertaining Ideas With Barley," including the hearty beef and barley recipe here plus a barley salad, quiche and roulades, send a self-addressed, stamped business envelope to National Barley Foods Council, Dept. PF, W. 905 Riverside, Suite 501, Spokane, Wash. 99201.
