Altered ingredient amounts. Halved the salt content and added turnips, swede and parsnips. Very easy recipe. - 15 Jul 2010
This was absolutely delicious! A great winter soup to warm you up. Once I'd put all the ingredients into the slow cooker it seemed alarmingly too full so I changed my mind and simmered it all slowly in a big saucepan instead. Great results! - 09 Jul 2009
Altered ingredient amounts. Instead of bones I used a big hunk of skirt steak and added a beef stock cube. I also used only 6 cloves of garlic. - 09 Jul 2009
