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 winter squash for sweet potatoes, black lentils for green lentils, water for vegetable broth, and Greek yogurt or crème fraîche for yogurt. See recipe for variation.

    I made this and agree that it's very good. Very filling, slightly sweet and lots of contrasting textures. I calculated the calories and it came to 290 calories per serving. I weighted out exactly 1/6 of the recipe and, as I expected, I couldn't finish the bowl. A serving has 16g of protein and 60% of a day's fiber intake. I think I'll create a bookmark for weight loss recipes and this will be the first one I add.

    This soup was easy and delicious. I used an enormous sweet potato and didn't feel like it disappeared. I also used French lentils, and liked the chewiness of the farro with the squishy lentils. Definitely use a strong curry powder for this recipe though- the spices are really lovely with the ingredients.

    Pg. 128. Just got this book yesterday and this is the first recipe I've cooked from it. And, it's a winner! It's good and very easy. I made it with French lentils and homemade vegetable broth. Next time I would double the sweet potatoes -- they seemed to disappear. Have to say that the lemon yogurt is key -- don't skip it!
