This dish is not only healthy but also full of flavor, making it an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy vegetables in a savory way. Ingredients: - 1 small onion, finely chopped - 1 carrot, diced - 1 small celery, diced - 300 g frozen peas (or fresh, in season) - 1.5 liters hot water - 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter, for a richer taste) - Salt and pepper, to taste - Optional: sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving - Optional: croutons or toasted seeds, for garnish Instructions: 1. Start by heating the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Choose a good quality olive oil, which will add a flavorful note to the dish. Add the finely chopped onion to the hot oil and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent. 2. Add the diced carrot and celery, stirring constantly. These vegetables will bring extra sweetness and texture to the soup. Continue to sauté the mixture for 5 minutes, adding a little water if you notice it sticking to the bottom of the pot. 3. Once the vegetables have softened, add the frozen peas. This ingredient is the key to the recipe, providing vibrant color and fresh taste. If using fresh peas, make sure they are well cleaned. 4. Pour hot water into the pot, enough to cover all the ingredients, and add salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until the peas are fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. 5. When the vegetables are ready, remove the pot from the heat and let the soup cool slightly. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the soup until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can keep some peas aside for garnish. 6. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. For a touch of richness, you can add a spoonful of sour cream or Greek yogurt just before serving. Serving suggestions: To impress your guests, serve the pea cream soup in deep bowls, garnished with some crunchy croutons or toasted seeds. A sprig of fresh parsley or a slice of lemon on the edge of the bowl will add a touch of freshness. Possible variations: For those who want to experiment, you can add a few fresh mint leaves during blending, giving the soup a refreshing taste, or a sprinkle of curry for an exotic note. You can also replace the peas with other green vegetables, such as asparagus or green beans, to vary the recipe. This pea cream soup is not only a healthy choice but also a simple recipe that can be adapted according to your preferences. Enjoy!
