Ingredients:

1 cube chicken stock

1/4 cup cream

500 grams (1 lb) frozen peas

2 mediums potatoes, diced

salt & pepper to taste

250 grams (½ pound) fresh spinach, chopped

2 tablespoons sugar

1 cup water (add more or less, depending on how thick you like your soup)

2 tablespoons yoghurt

Equipment:

pot

immersion blender

stove

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Place pototoes in a medium sized pot with a little bit of water and some salt & pepper. Place lid on and cook for 20 minutes until almost soft.
  2. Add peas and cook for a further 5 minutes until potatoes are soft and cooked through.
  3. Add spinach and cook a further 3 -5 minutes, until wilted.
  4. Take off the heat and let cool for a few minutes, then blend to a puree with an immersion blender.

  6. Serve immediately, scattered with some crispy croutons or bacon bits (or if you're like me and you just have some cheesegrillers on hand, fry them up in thin slices with a bit of sweet chilli sauce and use as topper).

Food Trivia

Odor is by far the most important contributor to the flavor of food. The contributions of taste, texture, and appearance are insignificant by comparison. Humans can distinguish an estimated 20,000 different odor qualities.

Food Joke

3 men were locked up in jail for 100 years for some terrible crime. They could all have one thing each in jail. The first guy wanted beer, the second guy wanted naked woman and the third guy wanted marijuana. 100 years later they checked up on them. The first guy said "oh gosh no more beer, full, drunk." The second guy said "oh, the woman fight, well im going gay." Then the third guy said "Does anyone have a lighter?"
