Now’s the time to add some water
You don't need any stock
Just use enough to cover
Don't fill it to the top
Bring back to the simmer, stir in some yeast extract
Laced, with B12 vitamins that truly is a fact
|
|
If you're sure there's no one looking
Add, an extra scoop for luck
Yes, I'm, a yeast extractaholic
And couldn't give a fuck
|
|
Stick blender time has come
But work, with great care
Your aim, is, a thickened soup
With chunky bits to spare
|
When serving, extra water can be added to taste
simmer in a pan to heat through BUT don't boil!
|
Bicarb soaked, marrowfat peas
Now added to the brew
In time they go quite mushy
And improve the colour too
|
No time to soak or can't be bothered
use 2 tins of mushy peas instead!
|
Season to taste
Without a fault
Fresh ground black pepper
Coarse sea salt
Dilute to suit
It's time to eat
With crusty bread
Oh, what a treat!
