Notes and tips

Pea soup freezes very well in individual portions.
The thermoses should be preheated with boiling water to keep the soup hot.
For a more complete lunch, add raw vegetables such as carrots or celery.
The maple cones can be replaced with maple cookies.
Perfect for cold winter and spring days.
