This syn free pea and ham thick soup - there's no way of making it sound attractive - comes straight from Jamie Oliver himself. I know he's divisive but I have a lot of time for him - anyone who can make decent food through such a heavy mist of spittle is a winner in my books. This soup is so easy to make - chuck it in a blender, throw it in a pan, spin it out the window, dance like no-one's watching. Keeps well in the fridge.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of spring onions
- 350g frozen peas
- 300g frozen chopped spinach
- 100g ham
- big handful of fresh mint
- 300g dried pasta, any old shite will do
- 50g feta cheese (use your HEA)
- 1600ml of chicken stock
Instructions
- chop the spring onions
- throw the peas, mint, spring onion, ham, frozen spinach and 400ml of chicken stock in a blender and blend the buggery out of it - add a pinch of salt and pepper
- pour into a pan and add 1200ml of chicken stock
- smash up your pasta - hit it with a rolling pin - and tip it in - let everything bubble for about twenty minutes until the pasta is cooked
- serve with the feta crumbled in
- lots of black pepper and salt, natch
Notes
- this recipe came from Jamie's book all about his family and their expensive house and wholewheat pasta and Cath Kidson tableware. If you fancy replicating the experience with your B&M saucepans and Charles and Diana pinny, you can order his book from here
- actually fair play to him, it's a great book - tonnes of recipes easily adapted for SW
- it won't surprise you but we have a fancy blender that could blend anything, you can get one, or just use a stick blender - you don't need to spend lots of money to do our recipe!
- we let ours bubble away for a good two hours (accidentally, I fell asleep watching Murder She Wrote) and it was lovely and thick - don't be frightened to cook it for longer!
