• 1.1 litres chicken stock
• 255g dried spaghetti, broken into approx•
• 2.5cm lengths

optional: 1 sprig each of fresh mint, basil and rosemary

a small handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

By Andrew Fernandez:

Finally managed to commit to a pea recipe. I had grown peas in my vegetable garden and what an abundance this year! The freshly podded peas do make a difference. The mint in this soup makes it a great summer refreshing soup to try out! I would how ever put some pieces of chicken in this soup just to have something else to chew apart from the spaghetti and peas.
