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.

    Can substitute dried navy beans for dried Great Northern beans, and vegetable stock for chicken stock.

    Another great recipe from Ash's grandmother! Hearty delicious soup. Husband loved it. I used Rancho Gordo yellow eye beans Oddly the recipe doesn't indicate when to add the soaked beans to the sautéed veggies in the pot (bad editing?), but it's pretty clear they should be added along with the stock,wine, ham hocks and seasoning. Definitely will make again. Don't forget the parmesan cheese; it's the perfect final touch.
