Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 cup finely minced celery & leaves
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cups frozen green peas
1 cup chopped romaine lettuce or 1 cup mixed greens
1 cup chicken stock or 1 cup vegetable stock
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped (NOT dried)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
salt
white pepper
1 dash freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 cup real sour cream
1/2 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Saute onion, celery and garlic in the olive oil for a few minutes until vegetables soften.
  • Add frozen peas, lettuce and broth. Heat until very hot but not boiling, then add milk, reduce heat and simmer covered 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, transfer the soup mixture into a blender (or use an immersion blender), add the mint and parsley and process until smooth.
  • Stir in the salt and white pepper, nutmeg, sour cream and butter. Blend soup mixture well by hand. Heat through and serve with a smile.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest peas possible. Look for peas that are bright green and plump, with no signs of bruising or wilting.

  • Serve the peas immediately. They're best enjoyed when they're still warm and fresh.
