Ingredients

200g Split Green Peas
500ml Water
1 tsp Vegetable bouillon powder
2 tbsp Extra virgin rapeseed oil
3 Cloves garlic chopped
1 Onion finely chopped
1 Small carrot, grated
Handful of chopped spinach
2 Bay leaves
Salt and pepper
Chopped fresh mint and croutons to serve

Method

Wash the green split peas in a colander, then place in saucepan cover with cold water, and leave to soak for 2 hours. They can be cooked without soaking, but will take longer.
Rinse and drain. Put the peas back into the saucepan. Cover with water and bring to the boil. Allow to boil for ten minutes. Skim any scum from the surface of the water.
Add the bouillon powder, grated carrot, spinach and bay leaves. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
In a separate pan, heat the oil and cook the onion and garlic. Add this to the soup mixture. Season with salt and pepper, and add more water if needed. Simmer for five minutes more.
Serve topped with chopped mint and homemade croutons.
