Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tbsp olive oil
knob of butter
½ bunch spring onion , sliced, plus a few extra to serve
1 potato , cut into small dice
1l hot vegetable stock
900g frozen petits pois
½ small bunch mint , leaves picked, plus a few extra to serve
85g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), very finely grated

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a heavy based pan. When foaming, add the spring onions and potato. Gently fry without colouring for about 5 mins. Stir in the stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins or until the potato is tender.
  • Stir in the peas, bring to the boil again, then cook for about 3 mins until they are just done. Remove the pan from the heat, add the mint leaves and whizz in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  • To make the parmesan biscuits, heat the grill to high. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and divide the grated parmesan into 6 long strips. Grill for 1 min or until the cheese has melted and is lightly golden. While still warm and a bit flexible, release the biscuits from the baking parchment with a palette or cutlery knife, then cool until firm.
  • To serve, heat the soup and divide between 6 bowls. Scatter with mint and sliced spring onions, if you like, and serve with the parmesan biscuits on the side.
