This soup is so fragrant and yummy! Chipotle chili adds a delicious smoky flavor, but the soup is mild in spice. This is my favorite soup; it is so easy to make, you must give it a try!

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 large basil leaves, chopped
2 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
4 cups water
1 dried chipotle chili pepper
1 bay leaf
2 cups sweet peas
1 tablespoon vegetable bouillon
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
½ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and cook until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, basil, and sun-dried tomatoes; cook and stir until the garlic has softened, about 2 minutes more. Pour in the water along with the chipotle pepper, bay leaf, bouillon, and vinegar. Add the peas, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the soup from the heat, and discard the chipotle pepper and bay leaf. Carefully puree the soup until silky smooth in batches in a blender, or use an immersion blender right in the saucepan. Serve the soup with a sprinkle of Gruyere cheese and freshly ground black pepper.

I'm not usually a fan of pea soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The smokiness from the ham hock and the sweetness from the peas are a perfect combination.
