This pea soup is one of my daughter’s favourites. It is creamy, subtly sweet, and surprisingly nutritious, using simple vegetables I often keep in the freezer. It is the kind of warm, easy soup that works perfectly for winter days, and you can make a big batch for the week.

Ingredients (serves 6)

• 300g frozen peas
• 150g frozen leeks
• 200g carrots
• 270g zucchini
• 1/2 red onion
• Salt, olive oil, and 1 bay leaf to season

How to Prepare

1. Wash the vegetables and cut them into pieces. I used frozen peas and leeks.
2. Place the vegetables and the bay leaf in a large pot. Add water and season with salt and olive oil to taste. The amount of water depends on how thick you like your soup. I prefer it thick, so I add water just to the level of the vegetables.
3. Cook on medium high heat for 30 to 35 minutes.
4. Blend the soup with a hand blender. Remove the bay leaf before blending.
5. Optional: If you want an extra smooth texture, pass the soup through a strainer.
6. Serve warm and enjoy.

Tips and Variations

• If you want the soup thicker, keep the water level at the height of the vegetables, then adjust after blending.
• If you want the soup thinner, add a little more water after blending and heat for 2 minutes.
• For a slightly sweeter soup, keep the carrots as listed.
• For a fresher finish, add a small drizzle of olive oil right before serving.
• If you are meal prepping, store it in the fridge and reheat gently. Stir well after reheating.
