Grandma Delleplain Green Pea Soup image

This was one of my Grandmas soups that was made in the 40's . The soup was easy to make but you had to make a stock before that to go with the soups and it took a long time to make about 5-6 hours. Now days we just use bought beef stock and use it in place of making your own.
