Method

  2. 2 Pour water into a pot and bring to a boil, then add the peas and shredded lettuce.
  3. 3 Cook for exactly 8 minutes to ensure the beans are tender while retaining their vibrant green color.
  4. 4 Blend while still hot, then strain through a sieve until smooth and velvety.
  5. 5 Pour in the fresh cream, season with salt and pepper, and add a few finely chopped mint leaves.
  6. 6 Serve hot, you can drizzle some extra cream on top to create a marbled effect.

With an appliance

  • Microwave 38 min

    Replace step 3: swirl the peas with water in a loosely covered bowl at 800W for 5 minutes; reduce by about 3 minutes to keep the peas green and eliminate the need to constantly monitor the pot. Blend immediately after removing from the heat for a smooth soup.
