Spring Onion and Pea Soup

Some people meet for coffee, or perhaps a cocktail. I have a group of friends that meets for soup. At least, we used to. In this time of Corona, soup is no more a rallying cry.

Yet soup abides. It’s been one of my mainstays since lockdown began in March. I’ve been making familiar soups and trying recipes I’ve never made before, like parsnip bisque and potato leek. Soup sustains me, even without a crowd.
