The peas are cleaned and the beans are put in water to boil. After a few boils, the spinach and green lettuce leaves are added, along with salt. Once the peas become tender, they are drained and transferred to a large bowl. At this moment, it is essential to keep a few tablespoons of the water in which the vegetables were boiled, as this will add extra flavor and help achieve a smoother texture.
After the peas, spinach, and green lettuce have cooled slightly, they can be placed in a blender. To obtain a delicious cream soup, we gradually add a few tablespoons of the boiling water. We blend the ingredients until we achieve a homogeneous and silky consistency. If you prefer a soup with larger pieces, you can stop blending when the texture seems right to you.
To intensify the flavor, it is recommended to add extra virgin olive oil, which will provide a splash of flavor and a touch of elegance to your dish. Also, for an extra kick, you can integrate a crushed garlic clove or a pinch of black pepper. These ingredients will elevate the soup's aroma to another level, transforming it into a memorable culinary experience.
After the soup has been well mixed, you can bring it back to the heat for a few minutes, ensuring that it is well heated but without allowing it to boil, in order to preserve all the vitamins and nutrients from the vegetables. It can be served warm, garnished with crunchy croutons and a few fresh spinach or dill leaves for a more appealing look.
This pea soup with spinach and green lettuce is not only a healthy choice but also an explosion of color and flavor on the plate. It is perfect for cool days but can also be served cold, as a summer soup, accompanied by a slice of toasted bread or a fresh croissant. Enjoy every bite and relish the benefits of fresh vegetables!
