Ingredients

  • 2 pcs leeks
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 l vegetable stock
  • 300 g frozen peas
  • 1 dl heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 handful pea shoots
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions

Rinse and slice the leeks thinly. Rinse the pea shoots and set them aside for later.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, and add the leeks. Sauté the leeks until they are soft, about 5 minutes.

Add chopped garlic and cook for another minute before pouring in the vegetable stock.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Then add the frozen peas and let them cook for another 5 minutes.

Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice.

Serve the soup warm, topped with fresh pea shoots.

Notes

Tip: For extra freshness, add some mint or basil along with the pea shoots.
