Nigellas Pea Pesto Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a kettle and put it on to boil. When it has boiled, measure the amount you need into a pan and put on the hob to come back to the boil.
• Add the frozen peas, spring onions, salt and lime juice to the pan and let everything bubble together for 7 minutes.
• Discard the spring onions and blitz the peas and their liquid with the pesto in a blender.

Steps:

• Combine water, salt, peas, lime juice and scallions in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until peas are tender, 3-5 minutes. Remove scallions and discard.
• Transfer soup to a blender. Add pesto and process until smooth. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Fill a pan with cold water and throw in the clove of garlic. Bring to the boil and then add salt and the peas. Cook until tender, drain, and put into a food processor, or blender, and add the creme fraiche, cheese, and dried mint. Puree the peas until knobbly and check the seasoning, adding salt if you need to. Tip the pureed peas into a bowl (or back in the pan is probably a better idea) and cover to keep them warm.

Steps:

• Place a saucepan over medium-low heat, and add oil and scallions. Stir until heated, then add frozen peas. Stir well with a wooden spoon.
• Add 3 cups boiling water and stock concentrate to taste. Cover, and cook at a lively simmer until peas are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool until no longer steaming.
• Transfer soup to a blender. Add cheese, and purée until mixture is very smooth. Serve immediately or, if desired, reheat to taste.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Cook the garlic for a few seconds, then add the courgettes and cook for 3 mins until they start to soften. Stir in the peas and cannellini beans, pour on the hot stock and cook for a further 3 mins.
• Stir the pesto through the soup with some seasoning, then ladle into bowls and serve with crusty brown bread, if you like. Or pop in a flask to take to work.

Steps:

• Cook the noodles according to packet instructions, then drain and divide between two serving bowls.
• Meanwhile, bring the stock, sugar, star anise, ginger and soy sauce to the boil in a saucepan.
• Add the vegetables and simmer for two minutes, or until just tender.
• To serve, pour the vegetable mixture over the noodles in each bowl and sprinkle with coriander.
