Pea and Lettuce Soup image

This is a french recipe my mum copied from a library cook book. I make it a bit differently to the original recipe and have included the changes that I have made in brackets. Please let me know if it is confusing. Everone (so far!) loves my adaptation, it has a great flavour and is just so smooth and creamy. We usually eat this with baked vegetables and buttered green beans mixed with chopped fresh tomato. I hope you like this as much as we all do! Cooking time is only approximate as I haven't taken note of this and is for my adapted version.
