Is This Soup Nutty Or What? - Leek & Pistachio Soup

Here I go with another one of my exaggerated recipes. This time I have decided that I will put pistachios in this leek and potato soup and guess what, it tasted great. We have to be creative in life and why not begin with cooking. We all have to prepare food for ourselves so why not let our imagination run in the kitchen. Be creative and let your imagination run free. Bon appetit!

Ingredients:

1 medium leek
1 large potato
½ cup green peas
1 clove garlic
½ cup pistachios
2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
1 tbsp of vegetable oil
3 cups vegetable stock
pinch of pepper

Yield:2 servings

Preparation:

Slice the leek into 2 mm slices. Peel and dice the garlic. Peel and cut potato into 1 cm cubes.

Heat vegetable oil in the pot, place in diced garlic and sauté for 3 minutes on low – medium heat stirring. Add sliced leek and sauté for another 5 minutes stirring occasionally.

Add peas and cubed potato and sauté stirring for 3 minutes.

Add 3 cups of vegetable stock and cook for 10 – 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.

While the soup is cooking remove pistachios from the shells and crush them.

Blend the soup with immersion blender until smooth.

Serve into two cups and top with crushed pistachios.

Preparation time: 10 minutes
