Ingredients to make one portion
about 1/3 can of mushy peas
a bit of onion, chopped.
about two inches of carrot, chopped
about two inches of a rib of celery, chopped
about a heaped tsp powdered stock. I use Marigold which is a veg stock but a chicken stock would be fine too and a ham stock (if there is such a thing) would be lovely. Just add what you think will be OK as you can always add more later.
I didn't season at all.
Method
Throw the lot into a pan withy some water and boil it, covered, until everything is soft.
Zizz it in a blender or with a stick blender.
Taste and adjust water/seasonings as needed. I didn't need to change anything.
Serve, piping hot. It's not a pretty colour but it has a good flavour and texture.
It would be lovely with some shreds of ham added after zizzing.
Don't you just love soup, it's so simple to invent a new flavour.
ReplyDeleteYes, I really do. So versatile and so tasty. Perfect for this very cold weather too.

Oh ... it is a pretty colour. It would match my kitchen wall perfectly :-)
ReplyDeleteIt reminded me of the walls at my secondary school! ;-)

I'm going to give this a go very soon. I wonder if turmeric would help the colour.
