Suddenly, while attempting to eat, I came upon the idea of 'Pea Soup.' Never before has this idea crossed my mind, and I now wish it had. Fry a few onions said the recipe, chicken cube, water, and peas. Crush the peas they said, easier said than done in water, add salt and pepper, then add double cream, well single today. It turned out nice! I wish I had thought of this before.
However, crushing the peas was not easy, and as I had a tin of Mushy Peas in the cupboard, I added that. Next time, and there will be an 'next time,' I will use Mushy Peas instead.
I've made soup from Chick peas, Potatoes and Lentils before, but this was new to me, though it does go back into the mists of time when such food was all that was available.
What excitement there is in my life...
Nothing else happened.

I can just see you crushing the peas! I used to use dried peas for a pea and ham soup - though here being here had to make the ham ourselves! What they call ham here would disgust a dog.
That pea soup sounds really good. How lucky you are to have such great peas! I have to tell you that when we had peas in school, they were always called "English" peas. I wonder if it was to make kids know they were not having the normal crowder peas that everyone grew on farms in the South in those long ago days. Anyway, most kids wouldn't eat them. I loved them!
Helen, Ham! I never thought of that!
Kay, Frozen peas are today farmed, frozen and bagged within two hours. Thus they are fresher than peas bought at a grocers. This soup is simple, even I can make it, and well worth trying.
You don't have to sell me on your frozen peas. I love them!
