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.

    This is sensational, however I must admit I did not add the yogurt as I'm still not ready for yogurt soups. This is so chocabloc full of goodness, you just can't help but feel virtuous cooking it, and it tastes as you would expect—full of flavour and tasty. As I am very partial to Persian aash I would have to say this is my preferred chicken soup as it is just so satisfying whereas other cuisine's chicken soups leave me a little wanting - but maybe that's a good thing when you're getting over a cold?
