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.

    Very good. I made this with dried beans, which gives the soup great body. Delicious.

    My favorite soup recipe. Every fall I look forward to making an enormous vat of this at the first sign of sweater weather. I like to use fresh spinach for the super silkiness. Finely chopped carrots are great, too. With a little grated cheese on top, this is nourishing, delicious cold weather heaven.

    I've made this recipe probably 30 times over the years. It's simple and absolutely wonderful. I've tried other escarole and white bean soup recipes, but always come back to this one because extra ingredients (like chicken broth) just muddle the flavor. One exception: I cook the beans with a Parmigiano-Reggiano rind.
