Juls Kitchen, last months winner of Hay Hay Its Donna Day has chosen Pea and mint soup for the June event.
As I didn't have any mint I replaced it with garlic chives. It was so -so, I think I'd prefer it with the mint.
Pea Soup with Garlic Chives
- 3 cups frozen peas
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1.5 litres water
- 2 teaspoons vegeta stock
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic chives
Place the peas, potato,water and vegeta in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil, cover and cook for 10 minutes or until potato is soft. Remove from heat, add the chives and blend soup with a stick blender. Taste and add salt and pepper to season.
Serve with a dallop of sour cream and some chive flowers.
