Ingredients

  • 500 g peas frozen are also good
  • 150 g potatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 30 g speck or diced bacon
  • 700 ml. hot vegetable broth or water
  • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper

To Garnish (optional)

  • fresh herbs
  • red chilies pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Finely slice the onion. Peel and roughly cut the potato.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion for a few minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the speck, and cook over medium heat for a few moments, stirring constantly. Add the potato, fry for 5 minutes so that everything tastes good, adding a little hot broth and stirring so that it does not stick. At this point add the peas. Pour the broth (keep a little aside to adjust the density at the end), then simmer for about 20/30 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Leave some peas aside, if you wish, and blend everything with an immersion mixer until you have reached a creamy and smooth consistency. Add the peas.
  • Depending on the desired consistency, add the broth kept aside, then pour your soup into the bowls.
  • Garnish and serve immediately.
