A lunch that may prompt Mendy to reach for some moisturizer, a pea and fresh mint soup. This came up as a potential inclusion to my homage to soups, and a worthwhile addition it was.



Started by frying up some diced red onion in a mix of olive oil and butter, and once softened some grated garlic added.



Once the garlic had cooked off, added some diced potato and chopped spring onions.



Continued cooking for a couple of minutes to sweat the juices out of them, then added just enough vegetable stock to cover. Brought to the boild and simmered for 15 minutes to get the potato soft.



Time to add the peas.



Mixed together, then the rest of the stock added, brought to the boil and simmered for 5 minutes.



Taken off the heat, the chopped fresh mint and some lime juice added.



Then time for the immersion blender to go to work, and once turned into a soup, some sour cream stirred in.



A sprinkle of some more fresh mint, a spoon of sour cream, parmesan croutons and a homemade soft bread roll, and a decent lunch.
