Pea and mint soup

Rating
Type of dish : Starter
To serve : 4
Preparation : 25 min
Cooking : 5 min
Budget : Cheap
From : Exotic
Difficulty : Easy
 
Ingredients :
1kg fresh or frozen peas
10 mint leaves (+ a few to garnish)
200ml chicken stock
200ml cream
2 tsp rock salt
Salt and freshly-ground pepper

 
Recipe :
Cook the peas in 500ml boiling stock with rock salt for around 3 minutes (if you're using frozen peas, don't defrost them, just cook for 1 minute longer).

Drain and set aside the cooking juice. Run the peas under the cold tap to cool them and then mix with the mint leaves, cream and half the cooking juice.

Add the cooking juice bit by bit until you get the consistency you want.

Serve in bowls, season and garnish.
