Pea and courgette soup

It is not very often you come across a recipe which you want to try out immediately. When I am in the Algarve, I get the magazine of one of the major super markets, Pingo Doce, "Sabe Bem". I have found their recipes very easy to follow and they turn out very tasty indeed.

Last year I tried out the chicken with pears and a pear salad. You find them on my blog and hopefully you will like this as well.

This is where I found the recipe but needless to say I changed some of it to suit our taste! 

Ingredients

I medium size onion

1 to 2 cloves of garlic

1 medium courgette

2 to 3 cups of frozen peas ( depending on the size of you cup!)

approx. 750 ml stock ( chicken or vegetable)

some oil for sautéing

a handful of roasted cashew nuts or almonds or sunflower seeds

vegetables be sautéed

Method

Cut vegetables into small pieces.

Sauté onions, garlic and courgettes for a few minutes.

Add the frozen peas and the stock, simmer for approx. 25 minutes, then purée the soup

Serve the soup with the roasted nuts and if you have, a leaf of fresh mint!

The finished result!
