Minty Pea Soup

Frozen garden peas
2 rashers of streaky bacon
1 onion
Mint
1 pint of stock
Chop the onion finely and sauté in some oil until soft. Add the stock and about 1lb of frozen peas. Bring to the boil and simmer gently until the peas are well cooked. Meanwhile fry a couple of rashers of streaky bacon until crisp and reserve. Pour the bacon fat into the pan of peas. When the peas are cooked take the pan off the heat and liquidise the contents. No need to pass this through a sieve as the pea skins should be soft. Reheat and add the mint. You can add mint sauce from a jar or chopped fresh mint. Taste and adjust seasoning or add extra mint if needed. Garnish with crumbled crispy bacon.
