How To Make This Frozen Pea Soup Recipe

Simmer frozen green peas in 500ml water for a couple of minutes
Whizz with a stick blender or in a liquidiser until smooth.
Make a paste with a little flour and oil and stir into the soup.
Whizz again and simmer very gently for a minute a two to cook off the flour.
Stir in some milk. Use plant milk and your soup will be vegan
Season with salt and pepper

Following Meal Plan 1 or 4?

If you are following Meal Plan 1, you are likely to need more calories at lunchtime, so use one or more of the cakes and bakes to follow the soup

Variations for Green Pea Soup

Add a sprig or two of mint if you have any. Or half a tsp of dried mint
Some big butter beans would be delicious in this, adding extra protein too
Or add 100g of red lentils – you would need to simmer for 20 minutes for this variation
If you prefer, you could use a plant milk
use butter, or any other fat, instead of vegetable oil
use half green peas and half sweetcorn – my daughter would love this, they are her favourite vegetables!
reduce the amount of water for a thicker soup, or add more flour

This is from Meal Plan 1, and Meal Plan 4, complete 7 day plans for 2 adults. Containing 3 meals a day, plus snacks , all recipes and a shopping list

Hi Erica
A redesign process has been taking place over the last few weeks. Some posts had some errors and I’m going through checking them all as we speak. The recipe card had been omitted in this post, and I’ve put it back now, so you can go on and make your soup

If you spot any more errors before I get there, I’d appreciate you letting me know, thanks. Sorry about the inconvenience

Hi, I can’t see the recipe for this, has this been removed as well as the lentil soup?

No, the cooking water is the stock, so leave it all in

Do you drain off the cooking water before you mash up the peas?
