It’s been a while!

Ingredients :-

• 200g Yellow Split Peas
• 2 sticks of celery
• 3 carrots
• 2 onions
• cubed pancetta (I used one half of a Tesco 2 pack)
• 2 Knorr Ham Stock Cubes
• Salt
• Black pepper
• 1 x Bay Leaf
• 2 cloves of Garlic
• Water
• 1 x tablespoon of oil

Method:

• soak the split peas in cold water for a couple of hours
• chop all the veggies and saute in the oil in a big soup pan
• add the split peas
• add the stock cubes and enough water to cover the peas and veg in the soup pan
• bring to the boil and then simmer for an hour or so until the split peas have gone to a mush
• once cooked, remove from the heat and blitz to a smooth soup with a hand blender.
• Enjoy with hot crusty bread 🙂
