Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Hearty and comforting. Add a lot of the toppings and it's virtually a full meal.

    A really great, potato forward soup! It has tons of room to change it up with toppings and additions. I used all of the garlic in the recipe and tightened up with soup a bit before blending with a bit of instant mashed potatoes so I didn't have to process out all of the chunks to thicken it. The only downside to the recipe is, if cooking it in a pressure cooker, it has two natural pressure releases which is a lot of wait time.

    I made this again and poured it all in the blender, as I don't have an immersion blender. Unfortunately, a very quick but powerful spin in the blender turned the soup to a mashed-potato-like puree. It was still tasty, but I prefer chunks of potato, so need to remember to only blend about half of the soup next time.

    This is a great potato soup that eats like a meal. It's ideal for feeding a group as it's customizable and filling. We will definitely come back to this one.

    I love this soup. I made it with slight variations (oil instead of butter since I wasn't reading closely, and about 2/3 of a head of garlic because I figured that was close enough). I use all the garlic (both the minced tops and the squeezed in cloves) and I just eyeball the sour cream. Tonight we ate it with scallions, bacon, cheddar and a bit more sour cream for those of who can never get enough sour cream.

    It isn't quite as easy as simple mashed potatoes, but not quite as involved as a full meal. With our temperatures still dipping into the 20 below range a good potato soup really hits the spot.
