 250 gm(s) fresh (shelled) or frozen peas

Italian spring soup. A treat after the winter
Cooking Steps:
You can vary this recipe according to what you have. When fresh vegetables are not available use frozen, but choose baby frozen broad beans rather than the big ones. Tinned asparagus pieces will work nearly as well as fresh.
Heat the oil in a deep pan and add the finely chopped onions and garlic and the bacon or ham. Sauté for a few minutes and then add the roughly chopped artichoke hearts and the broad beans. Add a bit more oil if it looks too dry.
When the vegetables are starting to soften but still firm pour in the stock. After about 10 minutes add the peas and the chopped asparagus and cook for a few minutes more until tender. Add a little water if you think it is needed. Check for seasoning and serve with good bread.

Ridiculously easy but sumptuous pasta dish, utilising more lovely British asparagus. Make sure you use good quality...

Very simple and very nice. Save time by boiling more potatoes than you need the day before.
