Method
- Place the stock, onion and potato in a large pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the peas to the pan along with the mint. Bring back to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Leave the soup to cool slightly then blitz with a stick blender until smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and reheat. Stir in the yogurt.
- Serve straight away or take the soup on a picnic or walk. Reheat before you leave home and keep hot in a vacuum flask until you’re ready to eat. Garnish with mint leaves, if you like.
