2 sticks celery, chopped into big chunks
1 knob butter
Splash of olive oil
Spash of water
2 large potatoes, peeled
1L vegetable or chicken stock
500g frozen peas
100ml double cream
Adapted from a Jamie Oliver recipe (20 min meals)
Preparation:
1. Put the onion and celery in the TMX and chop for 5 seconds, sp 6. Scrape down sides and blitz again if need be.
2. Add a splash of olive oil, a knob of butter, and a splash of water and cook for, 100 degree / 10 mins / sp1.
3. Add the stock and bring to the boil (100 degrees). If you heat your stock in the microwave, or use hot water when you make your own with stock concentrate, this won't take long.
4. While bringing it to the boil, grate the potato with a grater and add it to the stock.
5. Add the frozen peas
6. Mix the cream through on speed 3 for 20-30 seconds or so and cook for 5 mins / 100 degrees / sp 1.
7. Blend on speed 9 for 30 seconds until smooth.
Serve with crusty bread rolls (we love Isi's recipe for these).
Hints/tips: You can add 2 sprigs of mint to the recipe if you like (add along with the grated potato), or use mint peas.
It's tasty, but doesn't have a kick to it, so add some spices if you like.
