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.

    Good. We didn’t do the bread layer. Needed a bit more something. Added some chili pepper and more salt.

    A simple, but comforting and healthy soup. I didn't line the pot with bread nor did I serve it with the listed eggs, but I still found the soup to be hearty and delicious.
