Yummy soup

Today is definately a soup and home made bread day, with this wind and rain. I threw this together, and it was actually yummy, so I'd recommend it

Tin of value processed peas
Some well chopped cooking bacon (I cut it with scissors)
An inch or two of leek, finely chopped.

Throw in pan, cook for 10 mins or so, add a big spoon full of cream cheese, mash with potatoe masher. Its a wonderful green colour, and I really enjoyed it - and v. cheap !
