easy peasy

i made pea soup! ok. not major news but super tasty. the thing is, i don't recall ever having had pea soup in my life. i like peas just fine --usually with mashed potatoes-- but i don't mash my peas. but i saw this super quick recipe on "you are what you eat" on bbc america:
onion
bouillon cube
water
frozen peas
dice and sauté onion. add bouillon cube, water and peas. simmer until heated through. blend.
i have a total morbid fascination with this show in which a small, acerbic diet guru bullies "britain's worst eaters" into a new lifestyle of exercise and healthy eating. the best parts are the all-the-crap-you-ate-in-a-week table of shame and the pithy narration. so along the way, the acerbic diet guru (gillian mckeith) drops a couple of recipes for benefit of the audience. thanks, gillian. i had never considered making pea soup before. yum.
one day i'll make gordon ramsay's broccoli soup.
