MINESTRONE (200 ML) AND MASHED PEAS, SPINACH AND LEEK (200 G)

In a pan, heat the butter and fry the spinach. If you use fresh - then bring the leaves to softness, if frozen - then pre-defrost and fry for 2 - 3 Minutes;

Then add peas and leek to the spinach, salt and pepper to taste and cover with a lid. Stew a couple of minutes. Vegetables should let the juice go.

The vegetable mixture is sent to a blender and brought to a homogeneous consistency. If desired, you can make the mashed potatoes more liquid by adding a little water. You can also cut leek into rings and add whole to the puree;

We put frozen vegetables in a heated pan with olive oil and cover with a lid;

After a couple of minutes, when the vegetables unfreeze, reduce the heat to a minimum and, putting the lid on, simmer;

At this time, chop the onion into large cubes, and cut the garlic into thin slices;

Add the onions and garlic to the vegetables and continue to simmer under the lid over low heat, stirring occasionally,
1 - 2 Minutes and turn off;

We shift the vegetables from the pan to the pan, fill with water *, add the potatoes (chopped previously in small cubes), bring to a boil, salt and cook over low heat until the potatoes are ready;
