Reasons you need this herby pea soup and pesto-ham grilled cheese in your life:

1. It’s delicious. The combination of flavors is unreal.

2. It’s cheap. No fancy produce or expensive ingredients required. Everything can be bought for very little cost.

3. It’s quick and easy. Unlike most soups I make, there’s no roasting or anything that takes a lot of time. Sauté and blend. That’s about it.

4. It’s packed with protein. I use bone broth to bulk out the protein from the peas, and the ham and cheese give you even more. And it’s balanced with fats, carbs, and produce, giving you the perfect hearty and well-balanced meal for the end of a long day.

Now the recipe ^^

Pea soup ingredients:

• Olive oil

• Chicken bone broth

• As much butter as you want

• Herbs of your choice (fresh or dried, pretty much everything goes with peas so pick what you like)

• Salt and black pepper

• Onion of your choice (I always go for yellow onion and shallot)

• Lots of garlic (I use a whole bulb because I have problems)

• A lot of peas (~6 cups)

Step 1: Chop your garlic and onion (save the scraps for vegetable stock!), and sauté in a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium high heat.

Step 2: Season garlic and onion with salt, pepper, and herbs to taste. Add peas and butter, and cook until heated through. Cover with broth and blend until smooth.

Grilled cheese ingredients:

• Good white bread (doesn’t have to be fancy, this loaf was $1.99, but fresh baked goes such a long way)

• More butter

• Mayonnaise

• Pesto (homemade is best, but my basil plants haven’t recovered enough from the last batch for me to make more, so store-bought is just fine!)

• Two types of shredded cheese: one for flavor and one for meltiness (I’m a diehard swiss and mozzarella girl)

• Smoked ham slices

Spread a little mayo and a generous bit of pesto on one side of each of two slices of bread. Add one type of cheese to each slice and a few slices of ham to one side. Cook in melted butter over medium heat until the cheese melts, flip the sandwich together, and cook until golden on both sides.

Cut that sandwich in half, ladle up the soup, and dive in :)

Pick Two: Broccoli & Cheese Soup, Half Chicken Salad Sandwich. Blackberry Market. North Little Rock, Arkansas. 11.27.2023.

NOTE TO SELF: As usual, this place was decent -- nothing more, nothing less. Get the soup again if you're in the mood, but the chicken salad sandwich wasn't worth it.

Currently ranked 16th of 26 November meals.
