- 2 cups green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 50g pea shoots (plus extra for garnish)

- Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

- Add the peas, water and vegetable stock cube.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the pea shoots so they gently wilt.
- Use a stick blender or transfer to a liquidizer to blend until smooth and creamy.
