I just made a skillet of cornbread, which would go wonderfully with that soup.

I’ll be right over.

Sounds lovely Bretrick, does it freeze well?

Sounds ideal for the English late spring/early summer weather. 14 degrees C and sunny spells/gusty showers.

Well done with the soup @Bretrick

Personally I’d have drawn the line:

2 Large Onions
1 Green Capsicum
2 Large Celery Stalks

Saute above for 20 minutes in Olive Oil

Add 1 Litre Vegetable Stock
1 cup dried split peas - pre soaked

Simmer further 20 minutes

after that. I like it simple.

Winter here now in Australia. Perth is finally receiving some decent rain.

Rather tasty. It does freeze well.
I will consume all of it this week.
4 litres, 8 serves. Work lunch.

I added the broccoli and cabbage to assist with my Diabetes.

All good nourishing stuff, just thinking I would have done another dish, maybe par boiled greens with cheese sauce. :icon_cool:

I make my own sauce…I don’t like it ready made. Fresh natural sauce is the best, not cheesy…
