Gary came to dinner last night and for a starter I made pea soup. It's really easy, you fry a medium onion til it's translucent add a small bag of frozen peas and some water or stock and cook for about ten mins. Blend (preferably with a stick blender and without getting soup on the ceiling) and then add milk to taste and warm through. Season and serve with the garnish of your choice- I used cream, but creme fraiche, yoghurt, sour cream or flvoured oil would work just as well.
I served this in my Nigella Cappuccino Cups with a side of sourdough bread from Grain Wholefoods on Newland Avenue. I know I could have made my own but I like Grain's organic bread.

That sounds lovely, and really easy. Didn't you find it a bit 'gritty'? I've made pea soup before and it was. Might try this tomorrow after work.

I think it depends how long you cook the peas for and how long you blend. I put the warning in because I did get it on the ceiling...
