Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 leeks , well washed and thinly sliced
200g potato (unpeeled), scrubbed and grated
500ml chicken or vegetable stock , gluten-free
200g frozen pea
150g pot 0% bio yogurt
2 tbsp chopped mint
2 slices prosciutto , all excess fat removed

Steps:

  • Put the leeks, potato and stock in a pan and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 8 mins.
  • Tip in the peas, cover and cook for 5 mins more. Take off the heat and blitz with a hand blender (or in a food processor) until smooth, then stir in the yogurt and mint.
  • Meanwhile, lay the slices of prosciutto in a large non-stick frying pan in a single layer and heat until crisp. Allow to cool a little, then tear into strips, ready to sprinkle over the soup with some ground black pepper. Will keep in the fridge for 2 days.
