Ingredients
- 400 grams mange tout (snow peas)
- 1 medium-sized potato
- 750 ml vegetable stock
- 1 medium-sized onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 60 ml double cream (optional)
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the ingredients: finely dice the onion, peel and chop the potato into small cubes, mince the garlic, and rinse the mange tout under cold water.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until it turns translucent.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for an additional minute, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped potato and cook for 2-3 minutes, ensuring it gets coated in the oil and butter mixture.
Step 5
Pour in the vegetable stock, bring it to a boil, and then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan and let the potatoes cook for about 10 minutes until nearly tender.
Step 6
Add the mange tout to the pan and simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the mange tout is tender but still vibrantly green.
Step 7
Remove the pot from heat and allow the soup to cool slightly. Once cooled, blend the soup using a stick blender or transfer it to a countertop blender in batches until smooth.
Step 8
Return the soup to low heat and stir in the double cream (if using). Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
Step 9
Serve the soup warm, garnished with a drizzle of extra cream or a few whole mange tout for presentation, if desired. Enjoy!
