Pea cream with white Kampot pepper

Ingredients 4 tablespoons of olive oil 350 g frozen peas 1 yellow onion 1 carrot 1 stalk of celery 2 allspice berries 2 bay leaves 3 peppercorns of black Kampot pepper 3 cloves of garlic 200 g of farm smoked meat juice from half a lemon Kampot salt white Kampot pepper  Procedure 1. First, prepare the vegetable broth if you don't already have it ready at home. In 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, sauté the celery stalk cut into thin half-moons and one carrot cut into small cubes. Once both are sautéed to a light golden color, add the finely chopped yellow onion and sauté until golden. Color = flavor.  2. Pour 2 cups  cold water. Add 2 allspice berries, 2 bay leaves, and 3 black peppercorns. Also add onion skins (not the top dirty layer) to the broth, which will give it a golden color. Let it simmer for 20 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, while the broth is cooking, finely chop 1 yellow onion, grate 3 cloves of garlic with the sprouts removed, and dice 200 g of smoked meat. Sauté the onion in a pot with oil, then add half of the smoked meat. Sauté both well . 4. Add Package frozen peas. Pour our homemade strained vegetable broth into the pot. Do not pour all of it; keep a little of the broth aside in case the cream is too thick and needs to be thinned. Add garlic to the pot and cook for 5-10 minutes until the peas are soft. 5. Meanwhile, toast the other half of the smoked meat dry in a non-stick pan. Fry until the smoked meat is nicely browned on all sides. 6. Now blend the contents of the pot. If you have a blender, that is ideal. If not, use an immersion blender and strain through a sieve. Then season the cream well with salt; do not hesitate to add freshly ground pepper and especially ensure sufficient acidity with lemon juice. 7. You can garnish the soup. Toast some whole grain bread in a toaster or in a pan with a bit of butter, then cut it into small cubes. In a non-stick pan, toast some sunflower and pumpkin seeds. 8. Finally, pour the pea cream into a bowl, sprinkle with the toasted smoked meat, croutons, seeds, and enjoy this great soup.   Enjoy your meal! Author: lubojatzky_couple
