A beautiful bowl of Courgette and Yellow Split Pea Soup
I love the flavour in this delicious Courgette and Yellow Split Pea Soup and it is really filling and comforting, so I great meal for a cold winters day. Although it can certainly be enjoyed any time of year.
Yellow Split Peas are a great item to have in your store cupboard, they are budget friendly and are perfect for adding into soups like this. They are a great source of fibre and vitamins and have a delicious nutty sweet taste.
This Courgette and Yellow Split Pea Soup could also be cooked in an Instant Pot if you have one.
If you haven't heard of an Instant Pot you are seriously missing out. It is the best kitchen gadget I have purchased. I would even put it above my actifry and that's saying something. I love this thing so much, that I almost use it EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.
It seriously tops every kitchen appliance I have ever bought.
It is basically a 7in1 cooker, and it slow cooks, pressure cooks, saute's, has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge and even makes yoghurt (I haven't tried that yet).
