The Lip-Smacking Soup Series : The Green Nutty Delish!


Ingredients:
1 large broccoli,
2 sticks leek
A handful of mint leaves
2 tbsp coriander leaves
1/2 cup shelled peanuts

Seasonings:
Salt, Pepper (to taste)

Garnishing:
Powdered peanuts, a few mint leaves

Method:
 1.       Roughly chop all ingredients.
 2.    Powder the peanuts.
 3.       Throw all ingredients into a pressure cooker with some water for 3/4 whistles.
 4.    Remove from fire, puree with a hand blender to eliminate lumps.
 5.    Add seasonings to taste and bring to a boil.
 6.    Garnish with a sprinkling of powdered peanuts and a mint leaf or two!

note: Personally, I prefer to retain the fibrous consistency of a soup. You can run the pressure-cooked and pureed soup through a sieve to remove the same.

        Vegetable Broth can be used instead of water any any stage of cooking.
