My friend Julie sent in this tasty soup recipe and having tried it out last weekend, I’m super keen to share it with you. Here are four reasons to love this bright green broth: there’s very little preparation at all – just a few quick steps with readily kept ingredients thrown in, followed by simmering; the recipe requires only one pot, which means very little washing up; it’s cheap, cheap, cheap to make (only approximately $3); and perfect for warming comfort during these lovely cooler months. Serves 6-8 people. Thanks for sharing this, Julie. 

• 2 large onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 large potatoes
• 1 kg frozen peas
• 1.5 litres vegetable stock (I used powdered and chicken stock as substitute)
• 150ml cream

1. In a large, 3L+ pot, gently fry onion and garlic in a little oil. 
2. Add peeled potatoes, chopped into chunks, peas and stock. Bring to boil and cook until potatoes are soft. 
3. Blitz with hand blender until smooth then add cream. Season well with salt and pepper and serve with bread.
