CHILLED PEA, LETTUCE AND HERB SOUP
This elegant soup is sweet and heavenly. The texture is silky and the consistency thick -- but only because there are lots of peas in it. I used water rather than stock when I tested this recipe, and it worked just fine.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven. Add the leeks and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add the peas, lettuce and stock or water, and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer five minutes. Remove from the heat. Drain through a strainer set over a bowl, and allow the vegetables and the broth to cool for 15 minutes. Taste the broth, and season as desired.
- Working in batches, purée the vegetables and herbs in a blender with the broth and additional olive oil for two minutes until frothy and smooth. Pour into a bowl, and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings. Chill for several hours.
- Serve, garnishing with additional chives, tarragon and/or mint.

FRESH PEA SOUP
Steps:
- Heat the butter in a large saucepan, add the leeks and onion, and cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the onion is tender. Add the chicken stock, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the peas are tender. (Frozen peas will take only 3 minutes.) Off the heat, add the mint, salt, and pepper.
- *Puree the soup in batches: place 1 cup of soup in a blender, place the lid on top, and puree on low speed. With the blender still running, open the venthole in the lid and slowly add more soup until the blender is three-quarters full. Pour the soup into a large bowl and repeat until all the soup is pureed. Whisk in the creme fraiche and chives and taste for seasoning. Serve hot with garlic croutons.

PEA AND LETTUCE SOUP
This is a french recipe my mum copied from a library cook book. I make it a bit differently to the original recipe and have included the changes that I have made in brackets. Please let me know if it is confusing. Everone (so far!) loves my adaptation, it has a great flavour and is just so smooth and creamy. We usually eat this with baked vegetables and buttered green beans mixed with chopped fresh tomato. I hope you like this as much as we all do! Cooking time is only approximate as I haven't taken note of this and is for my adapted version.

CHILLED SUMMER LETTUCE, LOVAGE AND GARDEN PEA SOUP
A delightful and refreshing chilled soup for summer - this savoury soup takes its flavour from freshly chopped lovage leaves, which impart a savoury, lemony and celery-like taste. I like to serve this pale green soup in clear glass bowls for maximum impact, with a few chopped leaves sprinkled on top and a swirl of cream. This soup makes an elegant starter for any summer event or a light luncheon dish. Do not be tempted to add more lovage then is suggested, it is a very strong flavoured herb and can be overpowering if used with a heavy hand!

- Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium flame. Add the leek and cook, stirring frequently, until it is soft and translucent, about 7 minutes. Don’t let it brown—reduce heat, if needed. Add garlic and cook another 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add lettuce and cook, stirring frequently, until it wilts, another 7 minutes.
- Add peas, stock, 1 cup of water, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and the salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, until peas are soft. Using a slotted spoon, transfer about 1/2 cup of the peas to a small bowl and reserve (honestly, this was probably the most painstaking part of cooking this soup).
- Stir in the tarragon and cream. Purée the soup until smooth, using a blender and working in batches. (Clark says you can also use an immersion blender, but that didn’t get it as smooth as we wanted it to be—use a blender.) Then return it to the pot. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, if needed.
- If you’re making the ricotta topping, fold together the ricotta, the lemon zest and a little salt in a medium bowl; we found this took some serious stirring to soften the ricotta.
