    Can substitute sunflower oil for rapeseed oil, and vegetable stock for chicken stock.

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.

    I EYB’d this one to use up some lurking root veg, so expectations weren’t particularly high. As further testament to the power of EYB, my son has declared this his favourite soup. I never would have even glanced at this recipe.

    Delicious and hearty soup- perfect autumnal fayre. I was dubious about the omition of salt- but the recipe is correct, and the bacon offers enough saltiness. This could work with sweet potato or squash as well as swede. Next time i will add thyme
