"Pureed peas make a vibrant, beautiful soup."

Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 14.5-ounce can vegetable broth
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Sea salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sambal oelek (Asian chili paste)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup fresh lump crabmeat, picked over
1/4 bunch mint, finely chopped
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Make the soup: Blend the peas and vegetable broth in a blender until very smooth. With the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil in a steady stream to emulsify the mixture. Add half of the lemon juice, then chill the soup in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Season with salt and the remaining lemon juice before serving.
  • Prepare the crab: Whisk the olive oil, sambal oelek and lemon juice together in a bowl. Fold in the crabmeat and mint and season with a pinch of salt. Fill small cups or glasses about three-quarters of the way with the chilled pea soup. Garnish each portion with 1 generous tablespoon of the spicy crab and serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of pea soup, but this recipe changed my mind! The addition of crab and the spicy sauce really elevated the dish. I will definitely be making this again.

This soup was just okay. I found the flavor to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.
