PEA SOUP 

RECIPE

Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 20 mins | Servings: 3

Sometimes the simplest recipes are the most rewarding. This vibrant soup is proof that with a few pantry staples—and that bag of frozen peas you always keep on hand—you can create a restaurant-quality meal in under 20 minutes. It’s thick, velvety, and beautifully green.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil


  • 1 onion, chopped


  • 1 garlic clove, chopped


  • 1 potato, chopped into small cubes


  • 200g frozen peas


  • 400ml Stock of choice (Chicken, Vegetable, or Meat)


  • 50ml double cream


  • To taste: Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Sauté the Onion: Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and translucent.


  3. Add Garlic: Stir in the chopped garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.


  5. Toast the Potatoes: Add the chopped potato to the pan. Sauté the potatoes with the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes. This coats the potatoes in the oil and builds a deeper base of flavour.


  7. Combine: Add the frozen peas to the pot, followed by your 400ml of stock.


  9. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat. Let it simmer for 10–15 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.


  11. Blend & Cream: Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to blitz the soup until smooth. Stir in the double cream for that signature silky finish.


  13. Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
