SPRING ENGLISH PEA & TARRAGON SOUP RECIPE



Spring English Pea & Tarragon Soup Recipe image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 cups fresh English Peas, shelled*
1 large shallot, finely diced (about 3 Tablespoons)
Fresh Tarragon (about 1 Tablespoon), finely chopped
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 tsp white pepper (black is okay)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 Teaspoons fresh lemon juice
OPTIONAL: Potato starch, to thicken the soup

Steps:

  • Shell the peas (unless you can fine already shelled fresh peas, as I did at my local Costco). In a Dutch Oven, heat the olive oil and butter, until melted Add the shallots and cook until tender, 2-3 minutes. Season with white pepper. Add the tarragon (or choice of fresh herbs) Add 4 cups of the peas, reserving 1 cup. Add enough chicken (or vegetable) stock to cover the peas. Cover the pot, and cook for about 12 minutes, over medium heat. The peas should feel tender, but not mushy. If you have an immersion blender, puree the soup until you can't see any large chunks of peas. Otherwise, carefully puree in batches in a blender. Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese and lemon juice, and taste for seasonings, adding coarse salt as necessary. If the soup seems to thin, I like to use potato starch as a thickener (cornstarch can work, too). To about 2 Tablespoons of potato starch, add a ladle full of the soup and whisk together, removing the lumps. Slowly add the thickener back into the soup. The consistency of the soup should be creamy, not watery...but not really thick like baby food. Simply add more chicken/vegetable stock, if necessary. Add the reserved peas into the soup, cover and allow to cook for about 3 minutes. Serve with a lemon wedge, so that you can add more citrus flavor, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh green peas: Fresh green peas have a sweeter and more flavorful taste than frozen or canned peas. If you can't find fresh peas, frozen peas are a good substitute.
  • Don't overcook the peas: Overcooked peas will lose their vibrant green color and become mushy. Cook them just until they are tender, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Add fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as tarragon and thyme, add a lot of flavor to the soup. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
  • Serve the soup with a garnish: A garnish, such as pea sprouts or croutons, adds a nice finishing touch to the soup and makes it look more appealing.

Conclusion:

Green pea soup with tarragon and pea sprouts is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, and fiber. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try.
