A bowl of pea soup
Pea soup is a recipe passed down in many families. The peas cook slowly until they are soft and comforting.

An idea to try
Draw an imaginary bowl. Your child chooses three drawn ingredients and tells you what they would add to their soup.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
The reference pea-soup recipe contains whole yellow peas, vegetables and salt pork. The peas are soaked first, then the soup simmers for a long time. Carrots, celery and onions are among this version's ingredients. The finished dish can be linked to foods that each had their own shape at the start.
Imagine the ingredients' journey to the bowl: choosing, preparing, then an adult cooking. Ask which shapes your child recognizes and which smells they would like to describe. The activity uses words and observation; it does not require making soup.
