Tasty prize on offer for teens who come up with top pea soup recipe

The chance to have their own soup recipe to get selected for commercial production is on offer for teenagers who take up a challenge to grow their own vegetables.

Cullen Allen — better known as Cully of the food company Cully and Sully — returned to his old Waterford secondary school to launch the “Give Peas a Chance” competition yesterday.

Doing exactly what it says on the pea tin, the initiative will see up to 7,500 second-level students involved in growing their own peas.
