Bright-Green Pea Soup image

To prevent the peas from losing their vibrant color once you've pureed them, the soup must be cooled very quickly.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
3 cups Chicken Stock to Make 1 1/2 Quarts
or Vegetable Stock, or low-sodium canned
3 pounds fresh peas, shelled, or 5 cups frozen
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh tarragon sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the shallots and cook, covered, until they are soft and translucent. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • Add the peas and simmer 10 minutes more for fresh peas and 4 minutes for frozen, or until the peas are just heated through and still vibrant.
  • Puree the mixture in a blender and pour through a wide-mesh strainer into a bowl set in a larger bowl filled with ice and cold water. Stir until cool to the touch.
  • Stir in the yogurt and season with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 chilled soup bowls and garnish with sprigs of tarragon.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover peas. It's also a very healthy and flavorful soup.

This soup was a disappointment. The flavors were weak and the texture was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

This soup was good, but not great. The flavors were a bit bland and the peas were overcooked. I think I would have liked it better if I had used fresh peas instead of frozen.

I was a bit skeptical about this soup, but I'm so glad I tried it! The combination of peas, mint, and lemon is surprisingly delicious. I will definitely be making this soup again.
