Peas please
On a chilly evening, not much beats a warming bowl of soup, and this month we’re thinking pea.
Now, you can take it easy and heat up a tin of SPAR Pea Soup …. then fancy it up by adding a swirl of cream, a scattering of microwave heated petit pois, even some crispy bacon. You could also make this pea and ham soup … a really quick and easy version. In your new MasterChef 24cm cast iron casserole. Heat a tablespoon each of olive oil and butter. Add one cup of finely chopped carrots and one chopped onion. Stir until the onions are cooked but not browned – five minutes should do it. Add a large clove of garlic, peeled and minced, cook for two minutes, and then add three cups of chicken stock. Cook a small packet of SPAR frozen Petit Pois in the microwave or in water on the stove until hot, then drain and add them to the pot. Season with salt, black pepper and dried or fresh thyme leaves. Bring to the boil, reduce to simmer and leave for five minutes, or until carrots are completely cooked. Using a hand blender (bought at discount with your SPAR MasterChef offer), blend the soup until the peas are mushy. Add a cup of finely chopped ham or gammon. Ladle into warmed dishes, add a swirl of cream if you like, and serve piping hot with a SPAR Bakery roll filled with grated cheese.
