💡 What's interesting
The name 'London Particular' is a playful nod to the thick fogs (or 'pea-soupers') that once blanketed the city, as the soup's dense consistency resembles that murky haze. Nutritionally, it's a great source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, which can aid in digestion and provide sustained energy.
