This is a fab recipe for a very light and refreshing soup, perfect for the summer as a light main or a starter. It is ridiculously quick and easy too - very little faffing about and hardly any washing up.
1 onion
1litre frozen peas
100g washed British watercress
1 1/2 vegetable stock cube
Slice the onion and fry in a little oil until soft and golden. Throw in the peas and stir about for a few minutes.
Cover the lot with water, add the stock cube and a little salt and pepper and boil until the peas are very well cooked. Add the watercress and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Blend thoroughly.
Several options for serving: as is, with a swirl of cream, with pieces of crisp bacon or with a few chopped mint leaves. Add potato for a more substantial soup.
This is more delicious and zingy than you could imagine.... A lovely - and speedy - supper dish (or lunch, come to that!) It's quite good even without the onion too - can't say that about many dishes!
