Last night we went to a carol concert, South African stylee - Ladysmith Black Mambazo in the Durban Botanical Gardens. What fun it was. While they made a good go at Jingle Bells, my favourite is still their rendition of Old MacDonald Has a Farm...!
So needing to make a picnic for the event as well as needing some space in the freezer I decided to whip up some pea and bacon soup. It is so unbelievably easy and works so well either as a filling picnic soup or a sunday night snuggle mug.
Ingredients (makes enough for 4 hungry people)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 kg bag of frozen peas
200 g free range smoked bacon bacon, cut into chunks
2 tbsp veg stock powder
3 spring onions, trimmed but kept whole
salt and black pepper
Method
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan then add the bacon. Fry on a moderate heat until cooked then pour in the frozen peas, spring onions, stock powder and enough boiling water to cover. Season, bring to the boil and simmer for 4 minutes.
2. Remove from the heat, discard the spring onions, puree and serve.
So easy, so delicious and so last minute dot com.
