Sweet Pea Soup

Hi all


We want to thank you all for your lovely comments on yday's post. There is nothing more that could have made us happy. This is one of our favourite soups and hoping you will love it too. This is a very easy to make recipe and we think that is motivation enough to try it.

Ingredients

Green peas, shelled 500 grams Ginger 2 one-inch pieces Garlic 8-10 cloves Green chillies 2 Ghee 3 tablespoons Cumin seeds 1/2 teaspoon Onion , finely chopped 1 medium Bay leaves 2 Salt to taste Fresh cream 1/4 cup

Method

Wash and boil green peas in two cups of water. Blend in a blender to make a smooth puree. Grind ginger, garlic and green chillies to a paste. Heat ghee or oil in a pan, add cumin seeds and bay leaves, stir-fry for half a minute. Add onion and sauté till it turns a light pink. Add ginger-garlic-green chilli paste. Sauté for one to two minutes. Add green peas puree. Cook for five minutes, stirring continuously. Add three cups of water and bring to a boil. Season with salt and stir. Remove bay leaves and discard. Reduce heat and cook further for five minutes. This soup is of thick consistency, however you may make it of the consistency of your liking, by varying the quantity of water used. Stir in fresh cream and serve hot garnished with a swirl of cream.
