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.

    Just made this again - we make it each winter/autumn/spring. It is simply glorious and joy-making. This time I added a few tiny lentils to the soup for beautiful broth as they melt into the soup. There are many similar recipes for this soup as it is a classic French dish, but this is the recipe that I love and stick to.

    This soup is SO delicious – and makes everyone so happy when they eat it. I call it 13 Treasure Happiness Soup - the name comes from the 13 vegetables in the soup, and that wonderful warm, happiness feeling. Although from Provence, like many Nicois recipes there is a strong Italian influence. The soup is a close cousin to minestrone. There it is a summer soup, but the addition here of potatoes, pumpkin and sweet potato gives it that wonderful warmth for winter and early spring, and introduces truly wonderful textural combinations in every mouthful.
