This recipe is a testament to the magic that happens when simple, wholesome ingredients come together in perfect harmony. From tender crushed green peas to the crunch of celery, the sweetness of carrots, and the subtle depth of leeks, each component plays a unique role in creating a symphony of flavors.
Ingredients
- 350 grams of tender, crushed green peas
- 150 grams of fresh celery, finely chopped
- 125 grams of onions, diced
- 260 grams of carrots, cut into delightful cubes
- 100 grams of leek, for a subtle, aromatic twist
- 1-3 medium-sized potatoes, adding a touch of creaminess
- 2 liters of water, the essence of purity and life
Cooking method
- Begin this culinary journey by bringing 2 liters of water to a gentle boil in a large pot. Once the water simmers, introduce the vibrant green peas, allowing them to dance in the simmering liquid for about 45 minutes until they become tender and inviting.
- While the peas are simmering away, shift your attention to the supporting cast of this symphony of flavors. Chop the celery, dice the onions, and cube the carrots with care and precision. These ingredients will add depth and texture to your soup.
- After 45 minutes of simmering, it’s time to invite the celery, onions, and carrots to join the pea party in the pot. Let them mingle and harmonize as they simmer together for an additional 15 minutes. It’s during this time that the vegetables will soften and imbue the broth with their natural essence.
- As the vegetables reach the perfect state of tenderness, and the peas have surrendered their flavors to the broth, it’s time to bring it all together. Carefully mix all the ingredients in the pot, creating a vibrant and wholesome blend that promises a taste of comfort and nourishment.
- Serve your Hearty Green Pea Soup piping hot, garnished with crunchy croutons for an added layer of texture and flavor. For a final flourish of freshness, sprinkle some leeks over the top when serving, allowing their subtle aroma to elevate each spoonful.
Note: This Green Pea Soup is more than just a meal; it’s a celebration of simple, wholesome ingredients coming together to create something truly delightful. It’s a comforting bowl of goodness that warms both body and soul.
Indulge in this heartwarming soup, and experience the magic of nature’s flavors in every spoonful. Bon Appétit!
