INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 3 ¼ cups (750 ml) vegetable soup
- 4 cups (600 grams) of canned peas or Naturavit jar
- salt to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons of fresh mint leaves
- black pepper, to serve
Gasket (optional)
- 3 tablespoons boiled peas (reserve them before stirring the soup)
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, until sprinkled
- 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan or shredded feta
- 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds or other seeds of your choice
METHOD OF PREPARATION
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Add the potatoes and vegetable stock and boil them together. When they reach the boiling point, reduce the heat, cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Add the peas and cook for another 5 minutes (no more, otherwise you will lose the fresh flavor and beautiful color of the peas).
- Turn off the heat, season with salt and pepper, add the fresh mint leaves and let cool for a few minutes.
- Carefully transfer the contents to a blender. Depending on the consistency you want, you can add some vegetable stock or water to thin it out.
- Taste, make sure you're happy with the taste and serve with black pepper, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some Parmesan or crumbled feta if you like.
