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.

    True comfort food! I used bacon and no salt, it was perfect. Liquid seemed too little, so I increased it to 1.5 liters - perfect for my taste, between soup and chowder.

    This was a really good version of the classic split pea soup. I used smoked ham hocks and they were larger than the weight called for but I didn't find it overwhelming at all (actually there wasn't too much meat on them when the time came to pick it off, but the flavor was great). Satisfying with some homemade bread and froze/reheated well.

    This is the traditional split pea soup, and I loved it. I made a few changes: only 2 celery stalks, 2 carrots chopped, 2 garlic cloves, and a teaspoon of thyme. (I left out the nutmeg). I used chopped ham slices (like Wende - about 1/2 lb) and it really blended in well and infused the soup with a wonderful smoky flavor.

    This recipe turned out very well. The first time I made it, the store (Whole Foods) was out of ham hocks, so I bought a small piece of pre-packaged organic ham to use. The ham turned into lovely shredded chunks and infused the soup with great smoky flavor. The second time around, I used smoked ham hocks. It was not nearly as flavorful as the ham was. So I'd stick with the ham.
