9. Australian Pie Floater Recipe

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Immersion blender or regular blender
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 8 individual meat pies
  • 2 15 oz. cans green split peas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, sauté onion and garlic until translucent.
  • Add green split peas, broth, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove bay leaf and puree the soup using an immersion blender or in batches in a blender.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place individual meat pies on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
  • To serve, place a heated meat pie in the bottom of a bowl and pour the pea soup over the top.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

To save time, use store-bought meat pies instead of making your own.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot, which saves time and makes for easier clean-up.
You can make the soup ahead of time and freeze it in individual portions for easy reheating later.
