Ohmigod. Two hours???? !!!!!!!!!!!! Yuck.

Pea and lettuce soup.

Soften-till-clear some very thinly sliced onion in butter; add a
couple of washed chopped lettuce, some chopped mint, a small pkt of
frozen peas, enough good chicken stock to barely cover, and seasoning.
Simmer for 15 mins. Liquidise. Adjust seasoning, thin if required with
more stock or cream. Serve hot or chilled.
