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 regular chilli flakes for Aleppo chilli flakes.

    I made a double quantity of this delicious soup and was glad I did as we now have enough for two more meals in the freezer. This soup is a pleasant change from tomato and red lentil soups, good though they are.

    Loved the chopped lemon. The burst of tart is great.

    I loved this. So easy but great flavour. Will definately make again as I was growing tired of my go-to lentil soup recipe.

    Solid weekday recipe. Good and nourishing, but not a showstopper. One recipe makes 6 servings so no need to double. Served with basmati rice.
