Ærtesuppe med Gedeost og Brødcroutoner

So simple and yet so delicious!

Ingredients (4 persons)

4 tbs Olive oil

2 Garlic gloves

2 Onions

450 g Peas 

1 L Vegetable soup stock

1 dL Cream

2 tbs Lemon juice

Salt/pepper

4 Thick slices of bread

4 tbs Broad-leaved parsley (finely chopped)

4 tbs Basil (riped into small pieces)

100 g Goat cheese (hard)

Directions

Croutons: Slice up the bread in suitable pieces (e.g. 1x1x1 cm) and finely chop one of the garlic gloves. Heat up 2 tbs oil and fry the bread pieces with the garlic on low heat - remember to turn the croutons once in a while. They will be done in 15-20 minutes. 

Soup: Heat up 2 tbs oil in a pot and fry sliced garlic and onion for 3-4 minutes. Add soup stock and simmer under the lid for 10 minuttes. Add 300 g of the peas and heat for another 2 minutes (the peas will loose they beautiful color if they are cooked too long). Blend the soup and add the rest of the peas - heat very shortly. Add cream and adjust with lemon juice, salt and pepper. 

Serve immediately topped with chopped parsley, riped basil, crumbled goat cheese, and the bread croutons.
