  Made this last year when it first appeared in Good Food and it was yummy and is still popular at home.

  So easy and tasty, definately not one that improves with time though - best eaten straight away, otherwise the colour goes a bit murky

  This soup was really tasty - very filling. Can either have alone of with the bacon and a chunk of crusty bread. Yummy!

  Really didn't expect this to be as tasty as is. So quick, cheap and easy to produce but absolutely delicious. Mmmm I think I'm going to make it a lot this winter. Also my childish side loved the thick green soup frothing and bubbling as I simmered the last peas - Witches brew is a very apt name!
