Green Pea & Mint Soup

طريقة التحضير

1. 1

   Sauté the onion

   Heat the olive oil in a pot and sauté the onion over medium heat for 5 minutes until softened but not coloured.

2. 2

   Add peas and stock

   Tip in the green peas and vegetable stock, and bring to a gentle boil.

3. 3

   Simmer briefly

   Simmer for 8–10 minutes, just until the peas are tender — overcooking will dull their bright green colour.

4. 4

   Blend with mint

   Remove from the heat, add the fresh mint leaves, and blend until completely smooth.

5. 5

   Season and serve

   Season with salt and black pepper, and serve either hot or chilled, with a swirl of cream if you like.
