    Can substitute vegetable broth or chicken broth for the book's "Garlic broth"; buttermilk for buttermilk culture; and sour cream for the book's "Smetana" specified in this recipe, which requires 2 days to prepare. See recipe for a variation.

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.

    Utterly simple and more flavorful than expected. A pure bowl of comfort. I used homemade Creme Fraîche.

    This was a fine soup, cozy for a cold day, but nothing particularly interesting. We used sour cream instead of smetana, homemade veggie stock, and cooked the broccoli less.
