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.

Notes about this recipe

    Delicious! I used a pressure cooker and cut the time to just over half an hour total. Will definitely make this again.

    Excellent soup. So easy, and wound up yielding great results. I had just enough pesto from a recipe a couple of nights earlier, so it worked out great.

    Really delicious soup. I used sungolds from my garden and didn’t get the contrasting texture, but they were still lovely. I threw the corn cob in with ingredients for the first simmer and removed it when I added the orzo and corn kernels. I used home canned tomatoes and frozen pesto. Makes a lot, at least 8 servings. Will definitely make again.

    Loved this on a stormy summer night. Did increase the amount of corn. Cooked 3/4 cup of Rancho Gordo Marcella beans to use in the soup.

    Quote from my 15-year old: „Surprisingly good, considering the ingredients!“

    Wonderful! Perfect pot of soup for this time of year. Adding the cherry tomatoes at the end provided great contrasting texture.

    Some swaps I made: Chickpeas for the cannellini (because it's what I had on hand). 2 cups of homemade marinara for the canned plum tomatoes (because I have an abundance). Unknown frozen pesto cubes which could feature anything from carrot tops to cilantro. Really enjoyed this dish and can't think of a better way to use some of this seasons bounty
