Soup Dragon

splitpea

This doesn't look as good as it tasted, steamy and green as it is with a swirl of soya cream, some croutons and a sprinkle of soya bacon bits.

It rather fails on the appropriateness for season also, a hearty pulse soup more suited to January than July but it's cold and rainy and I'm in need of comfort so naturally I turn to my favourite form of food solace.

So easy to make that it needs no recipe, an onion, a good handful of freshly dried split green peas (and by that I mean less than a year old or they'll never cook), some thyme all simmered together until completely soft, whizzed up to a velvety smoothness, seasoned and served with garnishes of choice.
