Ingredients

Units
  • 2 - 3 organic garlic cloves
  • 1 onion halved
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil or ghee
  • 1 potato, quartered
  • 1 carrot, quartered
  • 1 lettuce, well washed and separated
  • 300g frozen or fresh peas
  • A handful of fresh chives
  • A few sprigs of parsley or coriander (opt)
  • 750ml chicken stock
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 150g sour cream (or dairy-free sour cream)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Place garlic cloves and onion in Thermomix bowl and chop for 5 sec/ speed 5 (or chop by hand).

2. Add oil to bowl and sauté onion and garlic for 3 minutes/ 100 degrees/ speed 1.

3. Add vegetables, and chop for 5 sec/ speed 5, use spatula to scrape down bowl.

4. Add in vegetable stock and water and cook for 20 minutes/ 100 degrees/ speed 1. (If chopping veggies by hand, and cooking in saucepan, simmer soup for about 30 minutes. Because veggies are chopped so fine in the Thermomix, they need less cooking time).

6. Add in lemon juice and sour cream substitute and mix briefly.

7. Serve hot and enjoy!
