Whole Yellow Pea and Mushroom Soup

Home   Recipes for Pulses, Grains, Seeds, Flakes, Flour, Ferments...   Whole Yellow Pea and Mushroom Soup
Dried Peas Oregano Peas Pulses Soups Whole Peas Yellow Peas

September 04, 2015

With a nod to the famous Ärtsoppa, traditionally served in Swedish homes on a Thursday evening, Lindsey Dickson of The Eating Tree has come up with a warming whole yellow pea soup.

Most pea soups are flavoured with some kind of added pork whether it be a gammon hock, salt pork or pancetta. The very fact that this centuries old classic combination is still going strong is a testament to its comforting, homely qualities, as well as its consummate deliciousness.

For vegetarians who normally have to pass on the pea and ham variety, this version is meat free, with a little added Sweet Smoked Paprika to give a hint of the flavour that would normally be provided by the bacon, without overpowering the natural flavour of the peas themselves.

With the addition of earthy, dried mushrooms it is something a little different to standard pea soup recipes but do give it a try, it makes a wonderful hearty, filling meal, accompanied by nothing more than a chunk of crusty bread.

With a nod to the famous Ärtsoppa, the yellow pea soup traditionally served in Swedish homes on a Thursday evening, I highly recommend serving it with wholegrain mustard which gives it an uplifting extra burst of flavour.

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

  • 350g Hodmedod's Whole Yellow Peas, soaked overnight and drained
  • 1 ltr Vegetable Stock
  • 1 1/2 ltrs Cold Water
  • 2 Leeks, white only, finely chopped
  • 1 Bayleaf
  • 1 Sprig Marjoram or Oregano, or a generous pinch of Dried Oregano
  • 1 1/4 Teaspoon Sweet Smoked Paprika
  • 30g Mixed Dried Mushrooms
  • 500ml Boiling Water
  • 1 Clove Garlic, crushed
  • 100g Fresh Spinach, chopped
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • Small knob of butter
  • To serve: Double Cream (optional), Flat Leaf Parsley and Wholegrain Mustard.

Method

  1. Put the peas in a large pan with the stock, cold water, leeks, paprika and herbs.
  2. Bring to the boil, cover, leaving a small gap, and simmer gently for 90 minutes.
  3. After the peas have been cooking for one hour, pour 500ml boiling water into a measuring jug and add the mushrooms. Leave to soak 30 mins.
  4. After 30 minutes, strain the water from the mushrooms into the peas. (Use a sieve to catch any gritty sediment from the mushrooms.)
  5. If the mushrooms are large chop them into smaller pieces. Reserve.
  6. Take the saucepan with the peas off the heat, remove the herbs and puree the peas in a processor or with an immersion blender.
  7. Return the pureed peas to the saucepan, leave on a low heat and season well with salt and pepper. If the soup is too thick add a little more stock or water.
  8. In a small frying pan, heat the oil and butter and gently fry the garlic and mushrooms for 3-4 minutes, add the chopped spinach and cook until just wilted.
  9. Add to the soup mixture and cook for a further 10 minutes.
  10. To serve, ladle into serving bowls. add a swirl of double cream and some chopped parsley. Leave guests to add wholegrain mustard as they wish.

Antalyan Style Piyaz of Flageolet Beans

November 07, 2025

Piyaz is a traditional Turkish bean salad, but in Antalya it takes on a unique and beloved twist. More than just a simple side, it becomes a hearty, flavourful dish in its own right, rich with tahini, olive oil and cumin, layered with herbs, eggs and tomatoes. Creamy flageolet beans form the base, while the tang of lemon and vinegar keeps it bright and refreshing. Finished with fragrant dill, parsley, and a sprinkle of sumac, this is a salad that’s as satisfying as it is vibrant, perfect served alongside grilled dishes or enjoyed simply with good bread.
