Pea and Mint soup!
« on: October 25, 2008, 05:14:35 am »
I modified this recipe from 2 others that I found and we had it for dinner last night.  We had it chilled and it was delicious, but I tried it hot and it was just as nice!

Chilled Pea and Mint Soup

6 spring onions
20ml olive oil
900ml stock (stock concentrate and water)
500gm fresh or frozen peas
generous handful of fresh chopped mint

Cut spring onions into 2 or 3 pieces and chop in Thermomix for 5 seconds on speed 6.
Add olive oil and cook for 2 minutes, 100 degrees at speed 1.
Add stock and peas, cook 6 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 1.
Add mint, cook 2.3 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 1.
Puree by slowly bringing speed up to 10 for 1 minute.
Chill for 4 hours.
Serve with a swirl of plain yoghurt or sour cream and sprinkle with extra mint.
