Pea Mint Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 750 grams fresh peas (or frozen)
• 75 grams of mint leaves
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 25 grams of butter / ghee
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 liter vegetable broth
• salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 75 g parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Chop all vegetables, defrost peas if necessary.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the chopped onions and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the onions are tender but not brown. Stir constantly to keep the onion from burning. Add the garlic and fry for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add 3/4 peas, chopped mint leaves and 3/4 broth. Cover the saucepan and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.
4. After cooking, whisk the soup in a blender to make a thick puree. Return the puree to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and add the remaining peas and broth. Cook for another 5 minutes to cook the freshly added peas.
5. Add the parmesan.
6. Chill the soup and serve with crispy croutons.
