Hi Vivi, I wouldn't have come up with the idea of cooking soup from pea pods. I don't have peas, but you can always learn something new. Your sieve, in which you had the pea pods, looked particularly cute, as if it came from a doll's kitchen. With us here it is also far too warm for cooking. I cook potatoes, noodles or rice late in the evening so that I can prepare a meal from them in the next few days. I'm sure the pea soup tasted light and delicate. Big hug Claudia
I adore soups one of the best things for fall and I don't mind a thin soup. The pitcher on your counter that holds all your kitchen utensils is so beautiful. Love the colors.
Another reason to grow peas next year!! We have some Hurst Green Shaft sent by Old Gardener Guy which we did not get in time for this season. We will plant them next year though. Fab recipe, and so great to use up 'waste'. 😀
I was so happy to have peas in the garden again this year. I've never grown HGS but they're supposed to be a good 'un.........ahhh, thoughts of next year already...... :-)
I was in the garden for a few hours during the storm and most stuff was just about holding up......but I haven't been back since so I'm holding my breath a bit for the bean arches and tomatoes....... :-)
Hi Vivi! I came across your video as I finished peeling 2 bags full of summertime peas. I am super excited to have a go with your Pea Pods soup recipe 😀
Oh my goodness bless you and this recipe!! I am really shocked but at the same time i am in love with this new flavour!! It really does taste like a mushroom soup. Wow
I love peas in every form. Fresh from the garden are the best. I can't wait to try this. As I mentioned before, my writer-daughter is in the UK digging up info on her 4XGr. Uncle (my mother's side (Chase)). She's been having a great time. Even managed to dodge the power outages. She's exiting Bath, and heading down to Devon to participate in a writers retreat and some spoiling. Thanks for another informative vid. xx
Hahaha, no rest yet......I've been sewing for hours and hours every day to get bunting ready to go on sale......I'm hoping it will go live tonight at 7pm my time. I'd better get back to the sewing machine..... ;-)
I think this would have been a great idea even just to use to make a veggie broth for use with other soups and stews. MY chickens would love the stuff left in the strainer. This way everything is used to the very end with no waste!
That looks delicious Vivi! I happen to be making a big wok of what ever frozen produce I could find in my frig. It wasn't that great but I will simmer over night. Big bag of kale, big babe mixed callyflower😉, broccoli and baby carrots. Plus fresh garlic and onion. Sea salt and tablespoon butter. I enjoyed it. Mostly broth as it is bed time now ....4:35 am😯
Ooooh, yes, Brussels leaves are lovely.......I use all the brassica leaves....some are more bitter than others but they're all useful additions to the cooking pot over winter. :-)
Vivi you can simply prune back your pea or bean plants and they will produce again before the cold weather comes. Hope you will try this. I do this all the time.
We have time for a second showing. I eat peas only while standing in the garden, fresh and crunchy, garden candy. I'll plant again just to try this soup idea. Thanks.
Hi Vivi, I'm a new subscriber. But have been catching up on your videos. Love them! My little plot in Vauxhall is BURSTING with 'Trails Of Tears' beans. As fast as I pick them, they keep growing back! Some are green, and some are a lovely mottled red. Can I eat the red ones? Or better to let them dry? Just wondered if you could advise on the red or green Trails Of Tears situation. Best wishes, Lee X
Yay, hello and a proper welcome to you Lee! This is my first year growing ToTs so I'm learning as I go......the smaller, greener ones are good to eat whole but as they fatten up and go purple/red they get a bit tougher so I'm leaving those ones for the beans to have dried. :-)
@@WhatVivididnext Some that I have steamed have been a bit stringy/chewy! So I'm not convinced just yet. Let's see! Hope you're having a lovely day, Vivi!
I do but it never lasts long as I make a lot of soup.......I use thinnings from the garden, onion skins, carrot tops, celery leaves......any scraps I have to hand basically. :-)
That's interesting about the hint of mushroom. I'm growing a bush variety snap bean for the first time this year. It's supposed to have a strong taste of mushroom. In fact, they're called Grandma Nellie's Mushroom Beans (in case anyone should miss the taste!). I wonder why some peas & beans would have that flavour & if it's more prominent after cooking? 🤔 (For the record, I'd like to blitz those dummies too!)
Thicken with either Roux [flour & "butter" paste] or cornstarch & water solution. Also, one can put Thyme leaves straight into the soup, & just blend them too.
When I make pea pod soup, I usually save some peas to throw in after putting about half a cup of whipping cream while I blend it then put the peas in, no need to cook first.
@@WhatVivididnext It makes the colour a bit more inviting otherwise when I had the kids at home they wouldn't eat it as they thought it was made from garbage. I don't understand why because I had a meal every week when I cleared out the fridge which I used to tell all my family that it was (say) garbage pizza or garbage stew, or garbage salad or garbage soup or whatever and it never bothered them but pea pods? What can I tell you?
Just harvested some peas and froze them - I will give the soup a go with the pods. I usually east the pods or at least crush them with my teeth and suck the juice and discard the fibre for the compost.
Cracking up at the blitzing of the health secretary. bwahahaha. I was thinking the purple would make it sketchy looking but just as scrum. I have more reds right now than whites avail so having the same issue. Would be a good soup for sick days bc of the lightness. You could add lemon juice to add a brightness.
Hello vivi please could you tell me how you cook your kale my iron levels are low so need to eat more kale leafy greens need some inspiring ideas thank you
Ooooh, my favourite is in a pie (see my cabbage pie recipe and substitute Kale).....but it also works well as a substitute fr the chard in my bean casserole.......as a stuffing with rice and nuts.....or tossed in olive oil and gently roasted until crispy as a snack......oooh, it's good!
Oooh looks amazing Vivi, I'm definitely going to give this one a go. And please forgive me, I totally forgot to thank you loads for my parcel, I've slapped my own wrist lol. Thank you,thank you and thank you loads👍😁 ☺
I only grow 'sugar snap' so I eat the pea pods with peas, raw. So no soup for me. I bet you could juice them. Are your peas the same variety as the type used for mushy peas? Why don't you add a diced potato and carrot? Q: Do you ever cook with grape leaves? BTW: I did ask you and Paul what I could grow for Fall? So you think Peas might work now?
I didn't add anything else because there was nothing else to hand but, yes, as mentioned, a potato would go nicely in it. I think you might just get away with sowing a few more peas now......worth a go eh? :-)
I've made this several times over the years but never thought about this before but it really does taste a lot like mushroom soup (this batch anyway) I also make mushroom soup that doesn't taste like pea soup.

Ahhh, that sieve is ancient.....it was a spare from my Grandma's kitchen. :-)

Oh I love that big pt for the utensils......made by a potter in North Yorkshire in my sister's village. :-)

What a lovely little recipe. Definitely going to have a go. Thank you Vivi.
Cheers Jeanie. :-)
Lovely light soup! So easy to make. I can't wait to try it. Thanks for posting it Vivi!
Cheers Grace. :-)
Love, love, love! I adore a thin soup. Just imagining that delicate flavour with the thyme. Yummy. 😀
A thin soup and NO stringy bits! Yay! ;-)
Loved seeing you back in the kitchen. Hope you're keeping well and the garden is ok after all the wind and rain we've just had.
Much love ❤️🍵
I was in the garden for a few hours during the storm and most stuff was just about holding up......but I haven't been back since so I'm holding my breath a bit for the bean arches and tomatoes....... :-)
What Vivi did next hopefully it's all still standing
Hi Vivi! I came across your video as I finished peeling 2 bags full of summertime peas. I am super excited to have a go with your Pea Pods soup recipe 😀
Yay for perfect timing! Enjoy your pea pod soup.......and those gorgeous wee green jewels you popped out! 😊
Oh my goodness bless you and this recipe!! I am really shocked but at the same time i am in love with this new flavour!! It really does taste like a mushroom soup. Wow
I've made your carrot & pumpkin soup for the second time this week and we love it so delishxx
Yay, thank you. 😊
Will have to make your soup next time I pick peas I picked peas yesterday and tossed the pods into the compost OH well next time Thanks for sharing
Ahhh, next time. :-)
You are very creative great use of the pods
Hahaha, waste not want not and all that. :-)
Yay! Finally in the kitchen, gonna love it 🍷to accompany me, ok gonna watch now ❤
Enjoy your glass of wine! :-)

Oh I'm glad to hear she is having such a good time........the retreat sounds blissful and in such a lovely part of the country. :-)
Hope you are resting in between busy schedule.. enjoyed this video.. my crops are glorious💐😍Blessings🎉
Hahaha, no rest yet......I've been sewing for hours and hours every day to get bunting ready to go on sale......I'm hoping it will go live tonight at 7pm my time. I'd better get back to the sewing machine..... ;-)
If the plants have any tender tips, tendrils or shoots, add them to the soup broth to amp up the flavor and they are pretty.
Absolutely......but mine tend to get scoffed in salads before they have a chance to be added to the soup. 😉
I think this would have been a great idea even just to use to make a veggie broth for use with other soups and stews. MY chickens would love the stuff left in the strainer. This way everything is used to the very end with no waste!
Oh yes, it would make a great broth/base for other veggie soups. Lucky chickens to have your lovely kitchen scraps. :-)
Great idea. Thank you so much!
Nice watching and listening too
Thank you Caroline. :-)
It sounds delicious. I would be very tempted to cook some rice or perhaps pasta (maybe little homemade dumplings?)in it.
Absolutely.....add whatever you fancy. I didn't add anything else because the cupboards were bare. ;-)
lovely soup vivi
Thanks Steve. :-)
you are not just a tall pretty gardener, you have multi-skills, lol thank you, Viv. best wishes
Awww, cheers lovely. :-)
take that boris johnson 🤣🤣🤣love it!
Hahahaha. ;-)
will try soon thank you for sharing and making these video's
Cheers lovely. :-)
Sounds delicious! Would make for a lovely cuppa soup for afternoon tummy grumbles.
Oh as a cuppa soup would be great.....hahaha, why did I never think of that? Cheers lovely. :-)
Well now, that looks interesting. My mind is already thinking of uses for that. It would make a great base for a nice Lentil soup perhaps? :-)
Exactly. :-)
That looks delicious Vivi!

Hurray for freezer soup! It's amazing what can be cobbled together from odds and ends in the fridge or freezer. Sweet dreams. :-)
Yep, as I thought, Lovely ❤
Yay! :-)
sounds yummy and not long found out u can eat the leaves from the Brussel sprouts ekkk no even less to put in the compost
Ooooh, yes, Brussels leaves are lovely.......I use all the brassica leaves....some are more bitter than others but they're all useful additions to the cooking pot over winter. :-)
Vivi you can simply prune back your pea or bean plants and they will produce again before the cold weather comes. Hope you will try this. I do this all the time.
If I had more space I certainly would. :-)
I find my green beans do that but not my peas they dry out and die.
Nice one i bought some peas 😋i will make it soon 👌😍
Fab! Enjoy. :-)
We have time for a second showing. I eat peas only while standing in the garden, fresh and crunchy, garden candy. I'll plant again just to try this soup idea. Thanks.
Hahaha, yes peas are the sweeties of the garden......do they ever make it home. Hahaha, I think not. :-)
Very interesting.
Cheers. :-)

@@leebenjamin2222 I'm growing them for drying only. I do lighter filet beans or cortex pole beans that are long but stringless and tender even long.
Do you make your own broth and if so,what do you put in it? Your soup looks delicious.
I do but it never lasts long as I make a lot of soup.......I use thinnings from the garden, onion skins, carrot tops, celery leaves......any scraps I have to hand basically. :-)
Our mum made home made soup when we were younger
Lovely. :-)

I second that. So the bean is picked fresh not dry Marie?
@@eveny119 yes it's a fresh bean that's eaten pod & all apparently. It's only just begun producing little white flowers. 😎
Thicken with either Roux [flour & "butter" paste] or cornstarch & water solution. Also, one can put Thyme leaves straight into the soup, & just blend them too.
Thank you.
Yum.
Totally. ;-)

use cast iron frying pan 🍳. add lemon juice to spinach, kale, Swiss chard and pinch of mustard nutmeg Delicious oh so. From Jill.

If I made soup from the pea pods I would have a very disappointed milk cow. She LOVES them.
Awwwww, well the main thing is that someone in the 'family' gets to enjoy them rather than the compost heap. ;-)
Too much talk not enough cook

Shut
Piss off Lysa
I've made this several times over the years but never thought about this before but it really does taste a lot like mushroom soup (this batch anyway) I also make mushroom soup that doesn't taste like pea soup.
Hahaha, brilliant. 😊
