Ingredients

• 1 litre (1 ¾ pints) vegetable (or chicken) stock
• 6 spring onions, trimmed and sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 450g (1lb) peas, fresh or frozen

• 200ml (7 fl oz) single cream

Method

• Place the stock, spring onions and garlic in a saucepan, season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Boil for about 4 minutes, until the onions are soft, then add the peas and continue to boil over a high heat, removing the lid once the mixture comes to the boil. After 1 minute, add the roughly chopped leaves and boil for a further 30 seconds – 1 minute, until the peas and leaves are just tender.
