Pea soup with poppy seed croutons
If you like pea soup (some people even have it on their Christmas table), try it this time with poppy seed croutons.
For croutons, prepare an older bun, cut it into cubes, salt it, drizzle it with poppy seed oil and place it on a baking sheet lined with baking paper in a preheated oven at approx. 180°C.
Prepare the pea cream from green peas, which we boil in salted water, we can thicken it with a little roux. You can also season it with spices, but I don't do that in this recipe. Peas and poppy seeds have a strong taste. The peas are cooked in a moment, we can put some of the peas aside, and blend the rest with a hand blender until smooth. Then we return the whole cooked peas to the soup. When serving, add croutons to the soup and drizzle a little more poppy seed oil on the plate, and poppy seed lovers can add a few poppy seeds.
You don't have to serve poppy seed croutons only with pea soup, they will also be delicious in a fresh vegetable salad.
