Peas and mint soup with a Brugge Apero mosterd/fenegriek crisp
4 pers.
30 min
a little Brugge butter
2 onions, coarsely chopped
1 clove of garlic, pressed
2 twigs of mint + extra for finishing
1 laurel leaf
500 g frozen peas
1 L chicken broth
60 g Brugge Apero mosterd/fenegriek
200 mL cream
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
Melt the knob of butter in a soup bowl on low heat.
Add the onions and garlic and sauté. Bind the mint and laurel together with kitchen twine and add to the pot. Add the peas and leave to stew for a while.
Pour in the chicken stock, bring to the boil and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the crisps. Grind the Brugge Apero in a food processor. Place in long strips on a baking tray covered with baking paper. Slide into the oven and bake for 5 minutes until melted and slightly coloured. Leave to cool down and if necessary cut into uniform strips.
Remove the mint and laurel from the soup.
Mix until smooth and push through a sieve.
Stir in the cream and heat some more. Flavour to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide the soup over 4 plates. Finish off with extra mint leaves and the Bruges Apero crisps.
