Pea & mint soup with crispy prosciutto strips recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 leeks, well washed and thinly sliced
  • 200g potato (unpeeled), scrubbed and grated
  • 500ml chicken or vegetable stock, gluten-free
  • 200g frozen pea
  • 150g pot 0% bio yogurt
  • 2 tbsp chopped mint
  • 2 slices prosciutto, all excess fat removed

Method

  • Put the leeks, potato and stock in a pan and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 8 mins.

  • Tip in the peas, cover and cook for 5 mins more. Take off the heat and blitz with a hand blender (or in a food processor) until smooth, then stir in the yogurt and mint.

  • Meanwhile, lay the slices of prosciutto in a large non-stick frying pan in a single layer and heat until crisp. Allow to cool a little, then tear into strips, ready to sprinkle over the soup with some ground black pepper. Will keep in the fridge for 2 days.
