Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Bessp on August 02, 2025

    This recipe ended up being a bit more involved than I thought it would be at first glance. There's a lot of soaking, draining, rinsing steps. If you use store bought ham stock, you can reduce a lot of that. The directions are a bit unspecific in some places (eg; add water to cover, no indication of how much water except that you need at least 6 cups of stock later in the recipe, but you should also have extra in case you want the soup thinner). Still, I ended up with a quite enjoyable pea soup. I might make it again, and I'll probably like it even more now that I've worked out the ratios.
