Description
A creamy, kid-friendly pea and mint soup that’s quick and easy to make in under 30 minutes, perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 1/2 cups peas (fresh or frozen, defrosted)
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons mint, roughly chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon crème fraîche (approx, to serve)
Instructions
- Dice the onion. Warm a pot over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, toss in the onion and cook for around 3-4 minutes until it’s softened and turning translucent.
- Add the peas to the pot and make sure they’re coated in that buttery goodness. Then, pour in the stock. Cover the pot and bring it to a simmer.
- Cook for about 2 minutes if using frozen peas, or 5-7 minutes for fresh peas until they’re bright green.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add in the chopped mint. Blend until smooth using an immersion blender or transfer it to a stand blender.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or chilled, drizzling a dollop of crème fraîche in the center of each bowl.
