- When it comes to a boil, cover the pot, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes or until peas are very tender.
- Remove bay leaves.
- Add salt and freshly ground pepper at the end of cooking time.
- Puree or not, as you wish. I never do as I enjoy the rustic texture.

Hello from the Willamette Valley in Oregon, truly a land of milk and honey.
Cooking is my favorite hobby, but as I still work full time, meals must taste great and be relatively healthy, but be quick to fix. There is not a lot of time for complicated, time-consuming recipes. I like to keep things simple while maintaining top flavor. Have recently re-discovered my big food processor and am enjoying letting it speed up the prep work wherever possible.
