Ingredients

  • Frylight
  • 5 spring onions peeled and chopped (or a regular onion if you don't have spring)
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 1 cube vegetable stock or 3 teaspoons Marigold vegetable bouillon
  • 750 ml boiled water
  • 500 grams frozen peas or fresh if you want to!
  • a small bunch of fresh mint
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Place a large pan on high heat and spray with Frylight. Add the chopped onions and garlic and sautee for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
  • Put the stock into a jug with the hot water. Stir until it's dissolved.
  • Add the stock and peas to the vegetables (if you are using frozen peas there is no need to defrost them).
  • Stir and bring to the boil
  • Reduce the heat, put the lid on and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • When the peas have softened, remove the pan from heat, season with salt and pepper and add the mint leaves.
  • Using a blender (or hand blender) pulse the summer pea and mint soup until smooth.
  • Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint (and fat free fromage frais if you fancy!)

Notes

Green chilli cheese toasties (these amounts serve 1): 1 slice wholemeal bread (from a 400g loaf) (this is ½ your Healthy Extra B for the day), 1 triangle Dairylea Light, 10g Reduced fat cheddar, grated (both cheeses together are half of your Healthy Extra A Allowance), 1 green chilli, finely chopped. Toast your bread, spread over the Daiylea and then sprinkle over the chopped chilli. Sprinkle over the grated cheddar, and grill for around 5 minutes until the cheese is lightly browned. Just a quick tip- whatever you do, don't overcook the peas or this will start to taste flat- if you just cook them for ten minutes it really tastes like a fresh pea soup! If you want to spice it up a little more, add a chopped green chilli into the soup at the stage where you are frying the onions.
