| 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

These traditional potato cakes are named “farls” from the Gaelic word fardel, meaning quarter. A central part of an Ulster fry, farls are popular across Northern Ireland. Making them at home is simple and requires minimal ingredients: some left-over mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and just enough flour to bind.
This simple and naturally sweet recipe is a delicious and nourishing alternative to traditional grain-based granola. Packed with crunch from brazil nuts, seeds, and flaked almonds, it’s full of healthy fats, fibre and plant protein - perfect for a sustaining breakfast or snack. The chia fruit compote adds a bright, jammy contrast, thickened naturally with chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
Orfhlaith Noone's addition of Guinness to Irish soda bread give it a modern twist, lending a deep, malty flavour to the loaf. This bread is the perfect accompaniment to hearty Irish dishes like seafood chowders, beef stews, soups, or simply with a smear of salted butter - Irish only, please!
