Notes
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
