There are two versions of Dutch pea soup. The winter variety is thick, hearty and usually served as a one-pot meal. In contrast, chef Geert Elzinga shows us the summer version which includes fresh peas to create a deliciously light dish.

Ingredients

400g fresh peas
1L chicken stock
1 kohlrabi
1 small leek
Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Blanch the peas.
 
Cook the peas (set some aside for decoration) in the chicken stock for 10 minutes.

Once cooked, remove peas from the stock and puree in a food processor.

Finely slice the kohlrabi (brunoise) and add this to the soup.

Cook for another minute before adding the finely sliced leek.

Cook the soup for a further minute.

Season with salt and pepper.

Hot Tips

Bubble and Squeak

Incorporate cold leftover vegetables from a previous meal (traditionally the Sunday roast) into bubble and squeak. Chop vegetables (and cold chopped meat if you have it) and combine with mashed potato. Fry the fritters until the mixture is well-cooked and brown on the sides.

Glossary

Oyster Mushrooms

An ear-like grey or greyish-brown bracket fungus that grows in clumps or clusters. Oyster mushrooms have a subtle flavour and are often used in Oriental cookery.
