green pea soup with mustard

A tasty soup with a beautiful color, and so easy to make.

INGREDIENTS FOR THREE SERVINGS

-500 gr (about a pound) of fresh green pea –You can also use the equivalent of two cans of green peas, but fresh ones are really better!

-Two garlic cloves, smashed in a mortar.

-Two tablespoons of high quality French mustard - because of the mustard no need for salt. 

-Water at room temperature.

-Some fresh mint for serving

PREPARATION

1-Cook the peas in a large sauce pan adding the smashed garlic.

2-When the peas are cooked take away from the fire and add the mustard. Mix well.

3-Put through a mixer in batches adding about half a cut of water each time. Check that the consistency is to your liking by adding more or less water in the mixer. I find it is better as a heavy kind of soup.

SERVING

-Serve warm with whole wheat bread or “pain campagnard”.
