2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 onions, finely chopped
7oz. bacon strips, chopped
2 lbs. baby peas (I used the sugar snap peas from last week)
6 cups chicken stock
2 1/2 lbs. lettuce, finely shredded
watercress springs, to garnish
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and bacon and cook for 2-3 minutes or until soft, but not browned. Add the peas, stock, and half the lettuce to the saucepan, then simmer for 5 minutes. Season.
Allow the soup to cool slightly, then blend in batches until smooth. Return to the saucepan with the remaining lettuce and stir over medium-low heat until warmed through. Serve garnished with the watercress.
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 Tbsp. fresh lime or lemon juice
1/4 lb. scapes (about 6)
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt to taste
Puree scapes and olive oil in a food processor until smooth. Stir in Parmesan and lime or lemon juice and season to taste. Serve on bread, crackers or pasta.
