Sheer simplicity! Very tasty and ideal for when my
vegan daughter visits.
As not a vegan could imagine the addition of ham will make a tasty ham and pea soup!

Thanks for your feedback. . . and yes ham would probably add a tasty note 🙂

Really lovely recipe. I added extra rosemary. Will try adding mint next time.
I had a lot of parsnips and couldn’t think of a recipe to use them with. This is not something that I would’ve ordinarily made, but I absolutely love it. Great for freezing.
Thankyou!
