So simple.
Diced 2 large onions. Fried in olive oil until softened.
Added 2 cups of rinsed split peas,5 cups of water, dash of salt. 1 cup of peanuts.
Brought to the boil then simmered for 20 minutes.
Pureed then added pepper to taste.
Rather delicious.

I’m surprised about the peanuts. Is that to add texture?
Broccoli soup is really easy and good too. Cook broccoli, stick it in blender, with water or vegetable stock, add salt and pepper to taste. I used to like that.

I had some peanuts laying around. Might as well use them up. Did add a bit of texture as the nuts never totally ground up like they would on their own. Such as Peanut Butter.

I have said this before, never seen the point of soup, it’s not a meal because you don’t eat it with a knife and fork, so it must be a drink, if its a drink I’d rather have a beer.
Actually come to think of it I don’t mind instant soup in a mug.

Yep, one tin of mushy peas, a decent ham stock cube, seasoning to taste and if you have fresh mint to hand all the better. Just gradually add the stock to the peas in the pan until you get the desired consistency , blend and heat through.

That looks really good, brilliant Bretrick
I’m another one who doesn’t really understand soup, is it a drink or a dinner? And it always makes me really thirsty

It is a meal, first and foremost. A bowl of Minestrone or Chicken soup with real chicken is enough on it’s own to satiate any hunger,
