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 watercress for pea shoots.

    A wonderfully simple but extremely tasty soup. Both my kids gobbled it up and asked for seconds. Made a few changes - I did a mix of butter and oil on the croutons and didn't bake the Parma ham onto the croutons. We put the ham on top of the soup with the croutons and watercress. Incredibly delicious and lovely to have a mix of textures. We will.be making this one again.
