Photo: Slime Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen peas
- 1 scallion
- 3 cups boiling water, from the kettle
- Chicken or vegetable stock concentrate or a stock cube
- 1 ball mozzarella, diced (approximately 10 ounces)
Directions
Cook the frozen peas and scallion in the boiling water with the stock concentrate, to taste, or stock cube until tender and cooked through. Drain and discard the scallion, and put the peas into a blender.*
Add the diced mozzarella to the peas in the blender. Liquidize the soup until smooth.
*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

I have made this recipe several times. I usually am not a big fan of pea soup, but this is delicious! The cheese doesn't usually melt, but after it's pulverized it creates a nice consistency.

I was excited to make something with a quirky British name that was easier than Spotted ***** or Bubble & Squeak. I couldn't wait to get started. I had all the ingredients, albeit my mozzarella cheese was actually several sticks of string cheese and my scallion was four shriveled things that needed to be used or tossed. Nigella had "drained the lifeblood" of her scallion, so I figured I could throw them all in to my soup. I announced to the family that we were having Slime Soup for dinner. Having not seen the episode, they weren't quite enamoured of the name, but they came around when they tasted it! This has within a day become standard fare at my house.

Love this soup. I boil the peas with pearl onions and puree them together adding some broth and salt and pepper. I didn't use as much cheese as required. Love it, so tasty and healthy.
