Spinach and Pea Soup image

This soup is delicious warm or chilled. If it's served warm, the frico bowls will soften and melt into the soup.

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 3/4 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
1 pound fresh English peas, shelled (about 1 cup)
8 ounces spinach (curly or flat leaf), tough stems discarded (about 6 cups packed leaves)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup tiny greens, such as micro greens or mache
Parmesan Frico Bowls

Steps:

  • Heat 4 teaspoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add stock, and bring to a boil.
  • Add peas, and return to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until peas are tender and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in spinach. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach has wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Working in 2 batches, puree pea mixture in a blender, filling no more than halfway and adding up to 2 tablespoons water to each batch to achieve desired consistency. Stir in 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  • Divide the soup among 4 bowls. Toss greens with remaining teaspoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Divide salad among frico bowls. Float a frico bowl on top of each soup. Serve immediately.

This recipe is a keeper! The soup is so easy to make and it's absolutely delicious. I love the vibrant green color and the creamy texture. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it many more times in the future.

This soup was a waste of time and ingredients. It was bland and unappetizing. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out watery and flavorless. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This soup was so good! I'm not usually a fan of spinach, but the flavors in this soup were so well-balanced that I couldn't get enough. Will definitely be making this again and again.

Easy to follow recipe that resulted in a delicious soup. I used frozen spinach and peas, and it still turned out great. Will definitely make this again when I'm craving something comforting and healthy.
