FRESH PEA SOUP WITH MISO
This simple Japanese-inflected soup has a delicate green flavor and a lovely creamy consistency. Served in small bowls, it makes a perfect beginning to a spring meal. Using white miso (shiro miso) keeps the soup light; red miso (a k a miso) gives it a nutty, more earthy flavor. Both are good. Japanese groceries sell fragrant shiso leaves in tiny bunches, and also offer the best choices for soft, silken tofu.

Steps:
- Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic. Sauté until tender, about 7 minutes. Add peas and stir 1 minute. Add 5 1/2 cups broth and bring to simmer. Cook until peas are very tender, about 8 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Puree soup and 1/4 cup chopped mint in batches in blender until smooth. Return to same pot; thin with more broth by 1/4 cupfuls, if desired. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, cover, and chill.
- Rewarm soup over medium-low heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls; garnish with additional mint.

- A bottle of bubbly is the perfect way to begin this special meal. It's also a great pairing for the soup. We like the crisp acidity and long finish of the Champagne Henriot NV Brut Souverain ($35, France).
FRESH PEA SOUP
This soup is known in France as Potage Saint-Germain, a name that comes from a suburb of Paris where peas used to be cultivated in market gardens. If fresh peas are not available, use frozen peas, but thaw and rinse them before use. Croutons make an excellent garnish!

BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S FRESH PEA SOUP
Earlier, I had posted Recipe #285307 after watching an episode of Ina Garten's show on the FoodNetwork. Now, I have finally tried the Fresh Pea Soup from that airing and found that I love it, as well. I prepared this with frozen peas, and while the original recipe did call for mint, I didn't have any on hand and omitted it. Pea soup may make some people's heads spin, but this is so good. Pairing with the flavorful Roasted Red Pepper Sandwich would be an incredible meal.

Tips:
- Use fresh peas. Fresh peas have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen or canned peas.
- Shell the peas just before using them. This will help them retain their flavor and nutrients.
- Don't overcook the peas. They should be cooked just until they are tender, but still have a slight bite to them.
- Use a good quality miso paste. Miso paste is the key ingredient in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality paste that has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Add other vegetables to the soup. This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Try adding carrots, celery, onions, or spinach.
- Serve the soup with a variety of toppings. This soup is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
Conclusion:
Fresh pea soup with miso is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The soup is packed with flavor from the fresh peas, miso paste, and other vegetables. It is also a good source of protein and fiber. If you are looking for a new soup recipe to try, I highly recommend this one.
