RECIPE
Pea and Coconut Soup
“When I am hungry, impatient and have nothing in the fridge, this vegan soup is the recipe I turn to. To be really speedy, the pan you use is important; a small, deep saucepan will mean your soup won’t come to a simmer quickly, so I suggest a deep, wide one – cast iron is ideal. If you don’t have spring onions, a normal onion will do fine; you may just need to cook it for a little longer.” – Anna Jones
