Green Pea Soup

Ingredients:

• leak (one bunch)
• 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
  
• green peas (one package, 1LB)
  
• water

Spice With:

• 3 cloves
• nutmeg
• 3 bay leaves
  
• 1/2 inch ginger (finely minced)
  
• salt
• pepper or chili

Preparation:

Wash and finely chop the leaks, including the dark green parts

Simmer the leak with the garlic in a little bit of olive oil, stirring

Add the spices and the green peas

Add enough water (covering all ingredients well, at least 1 inch water above the ingredients!)

When peas are soft, use a blender to puree to a smooth soup, after having removed the bay leaves and cloves if you can spot them.

Tip: to wash leaks fast, cut the long side in half, that allows you to remove any dirt with ease.

Ginger is best when used fresh and chopped small

Tip: I usually cook this soup in the pressure cooker, then it only takes me about 20 min. to prepare and having it ready to serve.

Serving: Grate some cheese on each plate of soup, that looks nice and makes the meal more rich. Serve as a full meal with rye bread and butter and various cheeses and a salad.
