- 1 bunch spring onions chopped
- 1 large potato peeled and chopped
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 1 litre vegetable stock
- 250 g frozen peas
- 100 g fresh spinach
- 300 ml natural yogurt
- 10 g fresh mint to garnish
Put the spring onions, potato and garlic into a large pan.
Pour over the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 mins with a lid on or until the potato is soft enough to mash with the back of a spoon.
Add the peas and bring the mixture back up to a simmer. Scoop out around 4 tablespoons of the peas and set aside for the top.
Stir the spinach and yogurt into the pan.
Carefully pour the whole mixture into a blender or use a stick blender to whizz it up until it’s very smooth. Season to taste with black pepper.
Ladle into bowls then add some of the reserved cooked peas and scatter the top with the mint. Serve with crusty bread, if you like.
