Ingredients

  • 2 leeks, well washed and thinly sliced
  • 200g potatoes (unpeeled), scrubbed and grated
  • 500ml chicken or vegetable stock
  • 200g frozen peas
  • 150g pot 0% bio yogurt
  • 2 tbsp chopped mint
  • 2 slices prosciutto, all excess fat removed

Method

  1. Put the leeks, potato and stock in a pan and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 8 mins.

  2. Tip in the peas, cover and cook for 5 mins more. Take off the heat and blitz with a hand blender (or in a food processor) until smooth, then stir in the yogurt and mint.

  3. Meanwhile, lay the slices of prosciutto in a large non-stick frying pan in a single layer and heat until crisp. Allow to cool a little, then tear into strips, ready to sprinkle over the soup with some ground black pepper. Will keep in the fridge for 2 days.
