Pea-mint puree soup with cream and cheese
Summer fresh peas, onion, garlic, celery stalks with plenty of mint, give a good and fresh flavor combination with butter, which is softened by melted cheese and whipped cream. A soup that goes well with several crispy toppings that make the soup even better.
Preparation time: 45 minutes
Level: Easy
Quantity: For two
Ingredients:
About 600 g fresh peas
1 stalk of celery
3 cloves of garlic
1 medium bulb onion, cut into quarters
About 15 mint leaves
200 g melted cheese
200 ml of bahu cream
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Garnish:
3-4 slices of bread, torn into small pieces, for croutons
A handful of sunflower and pumpkin seeds
1 package of smoked bacon
Small handful of fresh sprouts
Fresh herbs
Olive oil for making bread croutons and sprinkling on the soup
Preparation:
- Put the peas, celery stalk, onion, garlic, and mint leaves in a saucepan. Pour enough water so that everything is covered with water and the water reaches a few cm above the vegetables. Cook the vegetables for about 20 minutes over medium heat.
- To make bacon crisps, cover a pan with a rack, place the bacon on the rack and place the pan in the oven so that the bacon fat drips into the pan and the bacon remains low in fat. Fry the bacon at 180 degrees C until it is crispy and dry. Cool the bacon slightly and chop it finely with a sharp knife.
- To make bread croutons, tear the bread into pieces of your choice, drizzle with olive oil, mix, pour the croutons into the pan, and bake in the oven at 180 degrees C, stirring the croutons occasionally, until the bread is crispy and browned.
- To make roasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds, pour the seeds into a dry frying pan and fry over medium heat, stirring frequently to ensure that they roast evenly. When the seeds have started to crackle and brown, they are ready.
- To make the soup, puree the cooked vegetables with a hand blender, add the whipped cream and melted cheese. Season the soup with sea salt and black pepper.
- Transfer the finished soup to a plate and add crispy bacon crumbs, bread croutons, toasted seeds, fresh sprouts, and chopped dill and parsley. Drizzle a little olive oil on top of the soup and sprinkle with black pepper.
Ready!!
