Perfect for those winter chilly nights, Anneke Mackay-Smith gives us her personal recipe for Pea Soup. It’s easy to make a large quantity and freeze some for later, the key is to have a very large saucepan for cooking. The vegetables are also cooked at the end of the dish, so they keep their colour and shape.

Ingredients

500g dried green split peas, soaked overnight, rinsed

1 onion, sliced
10g pepper
6 beef stock cubes
1 bay leaf
2 garlic gloves
1 leek, finely chopped
1/2 celery, finely chopped
3 carrots, finely chopped
1 parsnip, finely chopped
1 turnip, finely chopped
2 Dutch sausages
1 bunch of parsley
salt to taste



Preparation

In a large saucepan, add 2.5 litres of water, onion, pepper, stock cubes, bay leaf and garlic. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer. Cook for 2 hours or until the peas have turned to mush. 

Add the vegetables to the soup. Add the sausages, either whole or sliced, and return the soup to the boil. Cook on low heat for a further 10 minutes.

Season with salt, and garnish with parsley.

Serve with bread.

Hot Tips

Chopping garlic

Squash the unpeeled garlic using the flat side of a large knife to loosen the skin and help release the flavour and oils. Peel the garlic and then roughly chop. All of the pieces need to be about the same size to ensure consistency while cooking.

Glossary

Quince Paste

A rich crimson jam-like paste which is often served sliced on bread with manchego cheese
