Ingredients
Peas, Pea, Leek, Leeks, Fresh Cream, Bacon, Smoked Paprika, salt, pepper, italian herbs, olive oil, italian herbs (greens, garlic, chilli, sundried tomato),
Directions
- Roughly chop leaks (it will be blended with the peas so no need to chop perfect discs)
- Roughly chop bacon cuts
- In a saucepan/ soup pot, brown the chopped leaks and cook the bacon together in olive oil. (I remove the fat, or use slim bacon cuts)
- Once the leeks are browned, and the bacon is cooked, add two bags of frozen peas (2kg).
- Add smoked paprika
- Add Italian mixed herbs blend
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- Add 1l of water
- Close saucepan and allow peas to steam for 5 minutes.
- Stir to mix ingredients.
- Cook for a further 10- 15 minutes until peas are soft and cooked.
- Blend all ingredients together to a consistency of your preference. ( I use an immersion blender in the pot)
- Optional: Stir in 200 ml fresh cream.
- Ready to serve!
I freeze portions for later use.
