Yummy detox lettuce pea and mint soup
10/11/2011
Just made up one of my fav soups this morning for my lunch and possibly afternoon snack today - Mmm yummy lettuce, pea and mint soup... this is a very detoxifying soup and very tasty.
What i love about making up soup is you can leave it in your saucepan for the day and when you feel like you need a yummy warm snack for these autumnal days – you can heat up a nice mug full of it and it is very low in calories so perfect for the healthy eating regime you are hopefully embarking on ...How cosy!
So how do you make this yummy soup....you will need:
1 pint of organic stock
2 medium onions chopped
1 teaspoon of olive oil to soften onions
250 grams of frozen peas
½ a large iceberg lettuce chopped
6 mint leaves
Soften onions in the bottom of the a large pan with olive oil, add the stock and peas and simmer for 10 mins – or until the shells are soft. Add the lettuce and bring to the boil. Take off the heat and then once it has cooled slightly add the mint and blend, once blended, return to the heat and bring to required temperature.
