WHY You'll love

Pea Soup

Pea Soup is one of those heartwarmingly satisfying staples of the winter months. My Mum would make up a huge batch using bacon bones and serve with fresh bread from Solomon’s bakery and margarine when I was growing up. I can remember eating a bowl of this salty starchy goodness on camping trips over the Easter holidays out at Horse Pasture and fighting with my Brother over who would get the big bone in the pot. Something we still do now!
