Method

  • step 1

    Heat the grains in the microwave following pack instructions. Put the peas in a sieve and pour over boiling water.

  • step 2

    Put 50g of the peas, most of the mint leaves, the spring onion whites, vinegar, sugar and stock cube in a food processor, and blend to a smooth paste, adding a little water if you need to. Divide between 2 soup or pasta bowls.

  • step 3

    Divide the remaining peas, hot grains and ham between the bowls and pour over enough boiling water to almost fill the bowls. Stir and leave for 2 mins to heat through.

  • step 4

    Stir in the spring onion greens and remaining mint leaves, season well with pepper and top with some pea shoots.

I love this recipe. I can't get peashoots so I use watercress and I don't use a veg stock cube because I save the stock from cooking my own ham and use that instead of hot water. It's very fresh and my kids love it too.

I don`t want to sound unkind about this recipe, but what a great deal of effort for just two portions of soup? So many ingredients plus different stages of the process not to mention the washing up afterwards. Better to open a tin I should think!
