Its really easy to roast beef.

Anyway, today, a small diversion, I shall post the recipe I made up last night to make a very healthy pea soup. Extra high on the protein, as docs orders say liquids only, but try to get more protein.

So with no further ado, here is the recipe for

Raph’s Pea Soup

 1 Medium Carrot

1 Medium Onion

1 1/2 cups dried split peas

1 Smoked chicken breast

2 teaspoons of bonox

2 cups of chicken stock

teaspoon salt

teaspoon of garlic powder

pepper to taste

Medium Saucepan (5l)

Blender

Chop up onion and carrot into small pieces, place in 5 liter pot. Add chicken stock and bonox and fill pot about 3/4 full with water. Place on medium heat. While pot is warming, chop up the smoked chicken breast into small cubes, add to pot, also add garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Bring to boil then simmer gently for 2 - 3 hours stirring every 10 minutes or so until peas are mushy. Soup should reduce over this time till it is roughly about 2.5 litres in volume. 

Take off heat and let cool for a short while, then pour into blender.

Mix should blend very easily.

 Voila, Raph’s Pea Soup.

I must say, I am most impressed with the flavour of this soup.
