Sweet Pea / Crispy Prosciutto Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Prosciutto

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the prosciutto slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

2. 2

   Cook the Base

   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Sweet Peas and Broth

   Add the fresh sweet peas and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the peas are tender.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender in batches.)

5. 5

   Finish with Cream

   Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Allow to heat through for about 2-3 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with crispy prosciutto and garnish with fresh mint.
