Pea And Lettuce Soup

This is a french recipe my mum copied from a library cook book. I make it a bit differently to the original recipe and have included the changes that i have made in brackets. Please let me know if it is confusing. Everone (so far!) loves my adaptation, it has a great flavour and is just so smooth and creamy! . We usually eat this with baked vegetables and buttered green beans mixed with chopped fresh tomato. I hope you like this as much as we all do! Cooking time is only approximate as i haven't taken note of this and is for my adapted version.

Steps

Cook onion gently in butter.
Add stock and peas , simmer until peas are tender.
Add lettuce and cook until wilted.
Add milk and puree until smooth.
Reheat in pan , season with salt and pepper.
Serve with a swirl of cream and chopped mint.
