1 large leek , finely chopped
2 medium carrots , cut into 1cm chunks
1 small celeriac , peeled and cut into 1cm chunks

Drain the peas and bring to the boil in a pan of salted water. Cook for 10 mins, drain, rinse and put in a slow cooker with the remaining ingredients except the dill. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hrs, or until everything has softened. Remove and discard the thyme.
