Curry Leaf Spiced Pea Soup

I’ve been a bit curry leaf crazy lately, but my homegrown plants needed cutting, so I’ve had loads of fresh leaves to use up!  A while ago, I made spiced mushy peas to go with my masala fried haddock, and it was so flippin’ tasty that I’ve been longing to make it again but in soup form… this was so delicious, so quick, super easy, and perfect for this weather!
