Pea pod soup

At one time I thought growing English peas was a waste of time and garden space for what we got back. Now I grow lots of peas since my wife discovered how to make soup from the pods.

In case you would like to try it, here is the recipe.

• 2 qts green pea pods (pods only)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 onion
• 1 tsp pepper
• 2 Cups milk
• 3 TBSP flour
• 1 tsp sugar
• a little Nutmeg
• 3 TBSP butter
Wash pea pods, cut into 1' long pieces, boil in water with onion for 1 1/2 hrs. Strain through colander, add pepper, salt, sugar, nutmeg, and milk (which has been scalded). Bring to boil and thicken with butter and flour mixture.

With a sandwich, this is really good, especially on a cold day.
