Pea-Leek Soup

Since it's still officially winter I thought I could add another soup recipe here! :D Today it's a pea and leek soup! I got inspired looking at some soup recipes and adapted to how I make soup myself. 

So here we go!

Ingredients: (for 4-6 servings)

• 4 leeks
• 10 spring onions (less or more is fine too)
• 4 cups of frozen green peas
• 4 cups of water 
• Chicken broth/bouillon (one cube or 3-4 spoons if in powder)
• 4 cups of milk
• Salt and pepper

Preparation:

1. Cut the leeks and spring onion into small to medium pieces 
2. In a pot, add the leeks and spring onion with 2 cups of water and cook on high heat (You can also use some vegetable oil to cook them but to make it extra healthy, we will just poach them in water :))
3. When the vegetables start getting cooked, add the remaining 2 cups of water. 
4. Cut the bouillon cube into small pieces and add it to the pot and mix well. 
5. Add 2 cups of milk and add the frozen peas. Let it cook a bit.
6. At this point you can add some salt and pepper to taste. 
7. Use the hand blender to create the soup. Make sure it becomes all liquid-y (this can take some time especially if you are a perfectionist. But don't worry not more than 8 minutes :P)
8. Add the remaining of the milk (you can also keep it this way, depends how thick you want it to be). And then it's done! :D

I really like this recipe, it's very tasty! And it's so easy to make (soup in general are really simple as long as you have to hand blender ;))As usual, have a nice salad on the side with some chicken, turkey or ham and you will have a healthy meal!
