Creamy Green Pea Soup with Mint & Burrata
Here's a vibrant green pea soup with a delicious twist—a hint of mint and a creamy burrata topping. This soup is fresh, comforting, and packed with flavor!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 500 g 4 cups frozen peas
- 750 ml 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 small potato peeled and diced (for extra creaminess)
- 1 handful fresh mint leaves
- Juice of half a lemon
- 100 ml ½ cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 burrata ball torn into pieces
- Toasted pine nuts & chili flakes for garnish
- Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the diced potato and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes until the potato is tender.
- Stir in the peas and cook for 3 minutes until bright green. Remove from heat and add the fresh mint leaves.
- Blend the soup using an immersion blender (or a regular blender) until smooth and creamy. Stir in lemon juice and cream. Season with salt and pepper.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with torn burrata, toasted pine nuts, and a sprinkle of chili flakes. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil for a final touch.
- Serve warm with crusty bread or parmesan crisps.
Notizen
Try adding a splash of Prosecco to the broth for an elegant depth of flavor or blend in some baby spinach for an even richer green color.
