On the weekend Anthony bought me Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage Everyday cookbook. I've wanted it for ages and of course couldn't wait to start using it. The recipe I chose to do was a simple pea soup, purely because I had everything in my house. It's so easy anyone could do it and surprisingly tastes really nice, I thought it was going to be slightly bland but totally the opposite, I encourage you to give this one a try and trust me, it is good.

| Yummy pea soup |
What you need:
- Knob of butter
- 1 Onion - chopped
- 1 Garlic clove - chopped
- 1 Celery stalk - chopped
- A few thyme leaves (optional but highly recommended)
- 500g Fresh or frozen peas
- 750ml Chicken or vegetable stock
- Salt and pepper
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add onion, garlic, celery and thyme then cover and sweat gently for about 12 minutes or until soft.
- Stir in the peas and the stock, bring to the boil then reduce the heat to simmer partially covered until the peas are soft.
- Puree the soup with a hand blender and season, add more stock if its too thick for you.
- Serve with crusty bread and enjoy!
Perfect money saver and tasty soup, hope you enjoy it as much as did.
