Green Pea Soup
Change the peas to other veg, or a mixture, whatever you have
Green Pea Soup
- 100 g onions
- 428 g peas
- 480 g vegetable oil
- 45 g self raising flour
- 190 ml whole milk
- salt & pepper to taste
Fry the chopped onions in the oil, blend in the flour when they have softened.
Gradually add the milk and 500ml stock mixing all the time to form a smooth paste, then a smooth liquid.
Then add the peas and blitz in a food processor, liquidizer or with a stick blender.
The salt value excludes any you have added yourself, as each family's tastes will differ

Before putting together our meal planners we surveyed over 600 people to ask when faced with a tighter budget, which things they would struggle to give up.
