Sauteed leek, celery, and carrot form a flavorful base; potatoes add heft; and Parmesan rind makes the broth luxurious and savory. But the real stars of the dish are asparagus, English peas, and sugar snap peas, each contributing seasonal flavor to every spoonful.

SPRING PEA SOUP



Spring Pea Soup image

Want a tasty, textured pea soup that tastes like springtime? You have to start in the freezer section of the supermarket to get the best results. I like frozen peas to build the base of the soup and then enrich it, last minute, with some fresh peas. Lots of people add bacon or Parmesan to garnish, and that's all fine to me, but I largely prefer the crunch of fresh peas or pea tops (a true sign of spring) and a dollop of sour cream. Use whatever peas are at the supermarket, sugar snap or snow peas.

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 scallions, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 10-ounce packages frozen peas, thawed
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons honey
1 cup sugar snap or snow peas, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
Leaves picked from 6 to 8 stems fresh basil

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the scallions and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the scallions are tender, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the peas, stock and 1 cup of water. Bring to boil, then simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes to allow the peas to soften further.
  • Using a jar blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth (see Cook's Note). Pour the soup back into the pot, then add the sour cream and honey, and gently warm for 1 to 2 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Garnish the bottom of each serving bowl with the fresh pea slices and basil leaves. Ladle the soup on top and serve.

SPRING ESSENCE SOUP WITH PISTOU



Spring Essence Soup with Pistou image

I went outside the last part of April and picked what I had available in the garden. I found oregano, leeks, asparagus and rhubarb. This became the base for an essence-of-spring recipe. The rhubarb adds a citrus flavor; which is balanced by the nutty, earthy pistou. It is truly a layering of flavors. -Laurie Bock, Lynden, Washington

SPRING PEA FISH CHOWDER



Spring Pea Fish Chowder image

Sweet peas, pea shoots, and a sprinkle of lemon zest give this light, just-creamy-enough chowder an extra dose of freshness. While cod might be a more traditional chowder choice, we love halibut for its meatier texture and sweeter flavor.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 leeks, white and pale green parts only, tough outer layer removed
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb. baby creamer (Yukon Gold) potatoes, halved (quartered if larger than 1 1/2" in diameter)
2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1 cup pure clam juice
2 bay leaves
1 lb. skinless halibut or cod fillet, cut into 2x1" pieces

1 (10-oz.) bag frozen sweet peas, thawed
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Pea shoots (tendrils) or sprouts, basil leaves, finely grated lemon zest, and flaky sea salt (for serving)

Steps:

  • Cut leeks into 1/4" rounds. Rinse, tossing with hands so that leeks separate into individual rings, and drain thoroughly. Transfer to a medium pot. Add oil and toss to coat. Cover pot and cook over medium heat until leeks begin to soften, 5-6 minutes. Add potatoes, 1 tsp. kosher salt, and 1 1/2 tsp. pepper and stir to combine. Add clam juice, bay leaves, and 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until potatoes are fork-tender, 10-12 minutes.
  • Season halibut with remaining 1 tsp. kosher salt. Add to pot along with cream and peas and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until halibut is opaque, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
