Kitchen Witch Notes
Greens are often linked with growth and restoration. Let this be a quietly practical way to welcome the season, not another thing to perform perfectly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with bread and the first open window of the season, weather permitting.
Introduction
This soup is warm enough for the last stubborn bits of winter, but fresh enough to feel like spring has actually shown up. Frozen peas absolutely count.
Method
- Cook the onion gently until soft.
- Add the potato and stock, then simmer until tender.
- Add peas and spinach near the end, then blend until smooth. Season and stir through herbs.
Swaps & Variations
Add leek, watercress or a spoonful of crème fraîche. Use frozen peas if that is what you have.
