Maria's Easy Peasy Summer Delight of Vitamins ...
Ingredients
frozen extra fine sweet peas 250 grams
fresh mint ... a good handful
cucumber large two thirds
one smal red onion
one big clove of garlick
1 avocado
salt and pepper to taste
a sprinkle of fresh lemon if needed
water (1-2 cups)
sourcream and fresh mint leaves to garnish ...
Ready set go ... this is a dish that can be done in literally 10 minutes ...
get out your blender ...
add cubed up cucumber ... ecological with skin etc...
add your chopped small red onion...
add you garlick
add an avocado in quarters ... will get you the creaminess that we love !
add your frozen extra fine sweet peas ( if fresh ... you will need to chill your soup before serving)
add your fresh mint ... and 1 cup of water ... blend ... add more water until yo reach a consistency that you like ... mine was quite thick... but no lumpyness blend and blend again ... additionally sieve it ...
... and that is it ! season to taste ! ... and continue to plate your Summer Esy peasy dream soup ...
garnished with a dollop of sour cream and a tiny fresh mint leaf .... ( get a laugh here ... my dad was happy and loved the dish ... but at some point he saw the tiny leaf of fresh mint ... uhuuuuu he went all funny in the face as if there was some alien or giant turd in the middle of the plate... pointing with a shaky finger asking WHAT IS THAT ! I contained the fit of laughter inside and gently explained that it was a mint leaf ... that was also in the actual soup .... he relaxed and ate on including the mint leaf...progress
I ate my portion real quick it was so lovely and fresh ...I surprised myself on this one ...it was just so good !
