Ingredients

Metric quantities · weights after peeling and trimming unless stated

  • 100 g onions, quartered
  • 150 g potatoes, peeled, 1 cm dice
  • 400 g frozen peas
  • 100 g spinach, washed
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • 600 ml low-salt vegetable stock, prepared
  • 5 g mint, leaves only
  • 2 g salt
  • 320 g bread

Method

  1. Soften the onion

    Bimby TM7

    Chop onion 5 sec / speed 5. Scrape down, add oil and cook 6 min / 100°C / speed 1.

  2. Cook the potato

    Bimby TM7

    Add potato and stock. Cook 15 min / 100°C / speed 1, until potato is soft.

  3. Keep the green flavour

    Bimby TM7

    Add peas and spinach. Cook 7 min / 100°C / speed 1, until peas are fully hot and tender. Add mint with the blades stopped.

  4. Blend and finish

    Bimby TM7

    Switch the heating off. Fit the lid and lid cap correctly; blend 30 sec / speed 5, then, if the appliance permits, 30 sec / speed 8 for a smooth texture. Let the blades stop and the lid unlock before opening; take care with steam. Taste and add the listed salt gradually. Serve with the bread.

Kitchen notes

Makes four soup bowls; the bread turns this into a light meal. For larger appetites add a separate sandwich or another course. Do not multiply the batch in the Bimby bowl: stay below its 2.2 litre maximum and make separate batches. Keep lid vents clear and fit the lid cap correctly. Heat soups at no more than 100°C and speed 2; stop if they rise towards the lid. Blend only after cooking, with heating off, following the screen prompts. Stove alternative: soften the aromatics in a saucepan, simmer the remaining vegetables and stock until tender, then use a hand blender with its head submerged. Frozen peas make this useful beyond spring. Contains wheat in the bread.
