This pea and mint soup comes with a handful of crispy bacon and crumbled goats’ cheese on top. It’s a great, healthy lunch and tasty minty twist on a classic pea soup recipe.

The best thing about this soup is that on top of being delicious, it is so quick to make – so you can have your new favourite soup ready on the table in just 15 minutes! Just boil the frozen peas and mint leaves together, and boil them into a smooth purée. Season to taste, and to top it all off, add a dollop of crème fraîche into the serving bowls and decorate with a mint leaf. For a vegetarian option, serve the soup with crumbled goats cheese instead of bacon.

HOW TO MAKE PEA AND MINT SOUP

Method

Put 1.5kg frozen peas and 1 large bunch fresh mint into a large pan and add 1 litre boiling water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 3 minutes. Strain off most of the liquor and retain it, then blend the peas and mint until you have a smooth purée.
Gradually add some of the liquor back into the pan until you achieve the desired consistency.
Return to the pan and gently bring back to the boil. Season to taste. When ready to serve, swirl 1tsp crème fraîche into each bowl of soup and add a mint leaf. Serve the soup with crispy bacon or crumbled goats' cheese over the top.
