  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 1 collar Chives
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Peel and finely chop the onion. Celery peel, wash and cut into small cubes. Clean, wash and cut leek into fine rings.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large pot. Fry the onion for 3-4 minutes until transparent. Add celery and leek, fry for about 2 minutes. Deglaze with about 1.2 l water. Stir in stock. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    In the meantime, preheat the oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 180 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Cut bread slices in half lengthwise. Place bread strips on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Grate cheese and spread on bread strips.

  4. 4

    Bake in a hot oven for 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add frozen peas to the soup, bring to the boil again and simmer for about 3 minutes. Remove from the stove. Roughly puree the soup with a hand blender (whole peas should still be visible). Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Wash the chives, shake dry and cut into small rolls. Pour soup into bowls. Sprinkle with chives and spread with cheese breadsticks.
