Ingredients:

1-2 cloves garlic
1 tsp oil
Bread roll, to serve

Frozen peas are an absolute staple in my kitchen. They are so nutritious – packed with vitamins, fibre and protein. They are also one of the most versatile vegetables. I use them in pasta sauces, curries, or as a side to any dish. In this recipe they are the main deal… pea soup! This is also a great store cupboard staple soup with ingredients that don’t need to be purchased fresh. You can blend the mix for a thick creamy soup or use a fork to mash it into a thick soup with some texture.
Method:
First, chop the onion and garlic finely and fry the onion in the oil on a medium heat. When the onions start to turn translucent, add the garlic, stir for a minute being careful not to burn the garlic.
Next add the peas, stock cube, about 1 pint of water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. To serve, mash the peas with a fork or blend to a smooth soup.
