Raw green pea and mint soup (review) Devil of a Cookbook
« on: December 30, 2012, 08:51:38 am »
I'm not a huge fan of the pea and mint flavour combination but if you were, this is really nice. I went a little overboard with the black pepper but still nice, and used 2 tspn stock paste instead of extra salt. Unfortunately I didn't quite have enough frozen peas so I made up the difference with frozen green beans and this seemed to be fine. I found the cooking time didn't produce a piping hot soup (which I prefer), so I added an additional 5 min at 100 deg, speed 1 with no effect or dulling to the nice bright green this soup should be. All in all, really nice if you like pea/mint flavour. Even though its not my favourite, still worth it because it is so quick and easy!  The recipe didn't state how many it serves, we got about 3 serves from it, perhaps 4 small servings as an entree.



It looks a little frothy because I wizzed it for 30 sec, speed 8 at the end of the heating, only because I used some beans I wanted to make sure it was smooth and there were no stringy bits.

That looks yummy Kulsha!

I tried this one at the Devil of a Cooking Class. It was served chilled and was delicious. That reminds me, it's on my to do list!

An awesome colour.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

This was yummy!  I don't normally like minted peas, but the mint is what really made this soup. Soooo simple and quick to make. I cooked up my (1/2 batch of) soup while my hubby reheated leftovers in the microwave for lunch today. Took about the same time! I think if I was going to make this for the family I'd have to make a couple of batches. Or maybe just make some yummy rolls to go with it. 

I also cooked mine for the extra 1m to make it hotter, but with that 'raw' taste still.
