Ingredients

1 tsp olive oil
1 small onion (75g/2½oz peeled weight), roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
125g/4½oz frozen peas
300ml/10fl oz vegetable stock
freshly ground black pepper
few chives, snipped, to serve (optional)

Method

Heat the oil in a small saucepan over a medium–low heat. Add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic, peas and stock, bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 20 minutes.
Use a stick blender or food processor to blend the soup and season with black pepper. Serve garnished with the chives, if using.
