Pea and Mint soup

Peas are definitely the most popular vegetable in our house. We've always got some in and I know that the children will always eat them. So when I made this I thought there would be no problem about everybody enjoying it. No such luck, I don't think they could quite connect the bowl of green to the happy little peas they usually see on their plate. This is a shame because it was really simple to make. Boil peas, blend and serve. The middle is a mint mascarpone made with chopped mint leaves.

Both myself and my husband enjoyed it although I don't think I could have eaten more than the small helping I had. There is only so much of the taste of pea I can take, which is why we usually have some with a lamb chop!
