Method
- 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
Add peas and stock
Tip in the green peas and vegetable stock, and bring to a gentle boil.
- 3
Simmer briefly
Simmer for 8–10 minutes, just until the peas are tender — overcooking will dull their bright green colour.
- 4
Blend with mint
Remove from the heat, add the fresh mint leaves, and blend until completely smooth.
- 5
Season and serve
Season with salt and black pepper, and serve either hot or chilled, with a swirl of cream if you like.
Nitra tip
Blend the soup as soon as the peas are cooked and add the mint right at that point — this keeps both the colour and the fresh mint flavour vivid.
