step 1
Bring the stock (500 ml) to the boil in a sauce pan and reduce to a simmer. Add the scallops (190 g) and poach for 2-3 minutes then remove with a slotted spoon.
step 2
Reduce the remaining stock on a high heat for 10-12 minutes until a ¼ of the liquid is left. Season to taste and top up with 1 litre of boiling water.
step 3
In another sauce pan, heat the oil (1 tbsp) over a medium heat and cook the shallots (3) for 6-8 minutes until softened. Season and stir in the garlic (1 tbsp), ginger (1 tbsp) and dill (25 g).
step 4
Pour in the stock and bring to the boil, before adding the peas (300 g). Bring back to the boil then cook for 3 minutes before blitzing with a hand blender until smooth. Season to taste then set aside on a low heat.
step 5
Slice each scallop into three thin rounds and arrange around the edges of six shallow soup bowls, season and sprinkle over the lemon zest (1). Top each with a little dollop of crème fraiche (2 tbsp).
step 6
Ladle the soup into the middle of the bowls to serve.
