Finally I've made a soup to be added to Alanna's ever growing list over at A Veggie Venture. That list is impressive! I'm definitely a soup person, I have loved soups since I was a little girl and I still do. I can eat soup all year round, hot or cold, salt or sweet - I'll eat it. So when I saw that Alanna had made February the soup month I immediately thought that I would participate and now I'm here after having posted two other soup recipes this month but for various reasons not participating in this event. Anyway, (how I blurb today, I better cut this short, must be one of those days when I never really get to the point) the other day I made a green pea soup with fresh ginger in it, the sweetness of the peas goes very well with the peppery-sweet ginger flavour and the soup was as nice warm as cold. I added some chopped chicken meat to it to make it a bit more substantial but that's not necessary.
GREEN PEA SOUP WITH GINGER or CREMA DI PISELLI CON ZENZERO
75 g / 2.6 oz leek
400 g / 14.1 oz fresh or frozen green peas
700 ml /23.7 fl oz vegetable or chicken stock
2 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
Olive oil
- Braise leek, peas and 1 tsp ginger in some olive oil for 3-4 minutes before adding the stock.
- Leave it to simmer for 20 minutes.
- Blend the soup until smooth, I usually leave some of the peas intact because it 's nice to chew on something and it looks nice too.
- Add the remaining ginger and if you want some chopped chicken meat as well before heating it up again
- Serve.

I have become the a bad blogger because I either forget or I don't have the time to answer your comments but that does not mean that I don't read or appreciate them, quite the opposite really. The generosity that shines through what you write and the fact that you take the time to comment on my posts makes my blogging worthwhile so Thank You for what you do for me and please keep on commenting!
