Pea soup picture from myrecipes.com

A joke that always get a laugh in our house is, “What’s the difference between popcorn and pea soup? Anyone can pop corn”. Yes, I know its lame but it raises at least a smile every time. Not too long ago I found a recipe for Bredasdorp pea soup from a travel magazine or something and every time I make it, I tweak it a little to my liking. A recipe is just a guideline isn’t it…?

The recipe says to just chuck everything into the pot and let it boil for two hours but there are obvious issues with this. Yes, I’m sure the writer’s grandmother has done exactly that for the past 50 years but all it takes is a few easy tweaks to get the best out of the ingredients to take it from mmmm to yum.
