Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 16-ounce packages frozen petite peas, divided (do not thaw)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups sliced shallots (about 11 ounces)
4 cups (or more) vegetable broth
3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, divided
Plain nonfat yogurt, stirred
Small fresh pea sprouts*

Steps:

  • Place 1 cup peas in microwave-safe bowl; set aside. Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until golden and almost tender, about 7 minutes. Add remaining peas, 4 cups broth, and 2 tablespoons tarragon; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and boil until flavors blend and peas are tender, about 7 minutes. Cool slightly. Working in batches, puree soup in blender until completely smooth. Return soup to same saucepan. Bring to simmer and thin with more broth by 1/4 cupfuls, if desired. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon tarragon. Season with pepper.
  • Cook reserved 1 cup peas in microwave until warm, about 1 minute.
  • Ladle soup into 6 bowls. Drizzle lightly with yogurt. Sprinkle whole peas over and garnish with pea sprouts.

This soup is a great base for a variety of toppings. I like to add croutons, shredded cheese, or diced bacon.

I didn't have any tarragon on hand, so I used basil instead. It was still delicious.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I added some salt and pepper to taste and it was much better.

I'm allergic to peas, but I was still able to enjoy this soup. I just omitted the peas and added some extra carrots and celery.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 8 hours. It was perfect for a cold winter day.
