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.

    A true winner. Like Lsblackburn1, I'd cut down on the oil next time. Half the amount would still be generous compared with many similar recipes. I used the amount of chilis called for early in the recipe and found that the heat level was perfect - a nice tingly bite - no need to add more later on. I substituted borlotti beans for the cannellinis because that's what I had on hand, and parmesan rinds for the pecorino rind for the same reason. Note that this recipe is NOT what I would choose to throw together for a weeknight dinner - it took much longer to cook than suggested by the recipe - but it was worth every stir of the spoon.

    Superb! Took much longer than promised in the recipe, even though my beans had had a nice long soak. Subbed Rancho Gordo Borlotti beans for the cannellinis, parmesan rind for the pecorino rind, both because that was what I had on hand. Do not omit the Calabrian peppers! Using the amount specified in the recipe was just enough to give a tingly bite to every sip of the soup. I used the pecorino to garnish the finished soup, but overlooked adding the parsley. Next time!

    Delicious! I used borlotti beans for this. Maybe used a bit less oil - one cup seemed like a lot - and about half the chilies. Served with bread and cheese.
