Quantity | Ingredient |
---|---|
1 | Onion |
1 | Flat leaf parsley |
1 | Butter lettuce |
300g | Fresh peas |
3 tbsp | Butter |
5 tbsp | Heavy cream |
1 tsp | Curry powder |
1 1/2 tsp | Sea salt |
4 slices | Bread |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Slice the onion into fine rounds. Wash and chop the flat leaf parsley. Rinse the butter lettuce and pat dry. Measure out the fresh peas.
-
Cook Onion: In a saucepan, melt half of the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and pale gold in color.
-
Add Lettuce and Spices: Once the onion is softened, add the butter lettuce to the pan. Allow it to soften for about 8 minutes. Then, sprinkle curry powder over the mixture and stir well to combine.
-
Pour in Stock: Gradually pour in the stock and lightly season with sea salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook briskly for 5 minutes.
-
Add Parsley and Peas: Stir in the chopped flat leaf parsley and the fresh peas. Ensure the pan remains uncovered during cooking to preserve the vibrant green color of the peas.
-
Prepare Croutons: While the vegetables are cooking, sautรฉ the bread slices in the remaining butter in a separate frying pan until they turn golden brown. Once done, drain and keep them hot.
-
Blend Peas: Once the peas are tender, blend them until creamy using a blender or immersion blender.
-
Strain Soup: Pass the pureed soup through a fine sieve to achieve a smooth consistency.
-
Reheat and Add Cream: Return the strained soup back into the saucepan and reheat gently. As it comes to a boil, stir in 5 tablespoons of heavy cream for added richness.
-
Check Seasoning and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve the piping hot soup in bowls and garnish each serving with the crisp croutons.
