Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Pour the peas into a pot (I use dried green split peas, so there's no need to soak them beforehand) with 2 liters of water. Cook until tender.
Step 2
Meanwhile, thinly slice the leek and sauté it in 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 3
For the croutons, cut the bread into 3x3 cm cubes, then mix crushed garlic with 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss the bread cubes in the mixture.
Step 4
Sauté the croutons in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until golden brown.
Step 5
Blend the cooked peas, salt, and half of the leek until smooth using a blender.
Step 6
Serve with the remaining onion and croutons.
