17th April – Pea, leek and garlic soup

Ingredients (serves 2):

  • 2 cloves of garlic – sliced
  • 2 small leeks – sliced
  • 250g frozen peas
  • 300ml veg stock
  • 1 teaspoon of dried parsley
  • Salt n pepper
  • 1 slice of bread for making the croutons

Put the garlic, leeks, peas and parsley in a pan and pour over the vegetable stock.  Bring to the boil and then simmer for 10-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Season well with salt and pepper to your preference.  Either transfer the soup mixture to a food processor or use a hand blender to blend the soup into a thickish mixture.  Once you’re happy that it’s consistent return it to the pan over a medium heat.  Heat the soup through and add some water if you want it a little bit thinner.  Toast the slice of bread and cut into croutons.  Pour the soup out into 2 bowls, make a swirl of cream/yoghurt if you like and top with the croutons.  Simply but lovely!
