This is my version of The Peasants Pea Soup. I have to thank The River Café for this fantastic soup basically made of peas and mint and onion and garlic. You can both use fresh or frozen peas, depending on the time of year. It is a kind of a Spring thing! It is so easy and so delightful.
Did you know that mint easily grows on your terrace or in a flowerpot in your window? The mint plant grows all throughout the year. Mint leaves are best before they start to flower. I use them all year round.
The Kimchi Pork Belly Stew is a made of kimchi and pork belly as the title says. You can use any meat you like though, but following a Low Carb High Fat lifestyle, pork belly is eminent. If you don’t fancy, meat mushrooms will be a good substitute. I haven’t made the Kimchi myself yet but I would like to do so one day, recipe to follow. Ensure to buy a good quality of both pork belly and Kimchi. I know that many of the Korean restaurants often sell their Kimchi from the counter both in Canada and in the UK.
If you store kimchi in your fridge you would within 15 minutes have a hot and flavourful stew on a cold winter day. You just need veggies and tofu. If you’re following a STRICT LCHF diet, leave the tofu out and add another egg instead.
My husband had this creamy wine soup in Austria years ago during a professional collaboration with an Italian entrepreneur. Quite frequently they held meetings with an austrian subcontractor, and they enjoyed this super delicious soup before going back home. He always came back to Denmark, where we lived at that time, and told me about this fantastic and creamy soup.
All this happened before he started living the Low Carb High Fat Lifestyle, and as the soup is quite heavy he felt a little guilty about it. Later he succeeded getting the recipe and nowadays we both enjoy this creamy soup. I recommend it for chilly or rainy days. Also smaller portions as a starter even on bright and sunny days 🙂 Your guests would love it!
