Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan, then fry the onion for 5 mins until softened. Add the potatoes and stock, then bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 10-15 mins until tender, adding the peas 2 mins before the end of the cooking time.

  • step 2

    Use a slotted spoon to remove a quarter of the vegetables from the pan and set aside. Blend the remaining vegetables and stock in a food processor or using a hand blender until smooth, then stir through the reserved veg, chopped mint and some seasoning. Serve with bread on the side.

Some supermarkets sell frozen peas

with mint, a great freezer standby if

you can’t get hold of any fresh herbs.

I never imagined something so simple to make could taste so nice. This was absloutely delicious. I didn't have any mint so made it without but it was still so tasty. I will definitely make this pea and potato soup again.

Agree with earlier reviews, this is so bland, like eating mushy peas (although they are nicer). Too thick and utterly tasteless. I wonder if 500g of potatoes and 509g of peas with 1.5lts of stock might be better. Hey ho not one I’ll be making again.

Absolutely love this soup, so quick, easy and cheap to make. A proper soul warming soup. I like to add a good bit of salt and pepper to this but it would also be nice with some chilli through it if you like more of a kick. It’s been a top favourite in my family for years now.

Exquisite soup. I made this in my soup maker so I halved the ingredients.

This soup was pretty underwhelming. Ended up adding some chilli flakes, served with an olive oil drizzle. Would definitely add garlic and something to add acidity (lemon juice would really lift this) just to give it more depth of flavour.

It’s a good one to make if you fancy something pretty quick…
