I have been doing a larder audit and trying to use up what we already have. We had a lovely pack of dried yellow split peas and so I made a rough attempt at a Scandinavian pea soup is, although without the ham so H-G could eat it as well.
I rinsed the peas to get rid of any grit. Then put them into unsalted water and brought them to a boil. Once boiling I simmered for about an hour.
Drained the peas. Sauteed brown onion, 4 cloves of garlic, some carrots and sweet potato (that were hagning around) and added the peas. Added vegetable stock and cooked until everything was soft. Then I just blended the soup. Served the following day with natural yoghurt and some little garlic and herb bruschettas that I bought from Aldi.
This was delicious. It also made a really lovely and nourishing Sunday brunch.
