I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the humble pea. Can't stand them as a side dish, but love them as an ingredient, as in this soup, which has the most wonderful colour, and just enough meat with the addition of the bacon to remind me of my other favourite pea related meal - Pork Pies with mushy peas. (Preferably eaten standing next to a bonfire with the smell of fireworks in the air)
