Do you ever have one of those days where you really have a urge for some meal? Well, for some reason I was wanting split pea soup. I couldn't find my recipe so off to the Internet I went and came across this recipe, though it isn't split pea, it sounded interesting.
It is an Ellie Krieger recipe. I have made several of her recipes and they have always been good. And they are healthy too!! This did require a trip to the grocery store to buy a bag of frozen peas.
Ellie Krieger's Green Pea Soup
Ingriedents
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 large onion sliced
2 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 tsp dried tarragon
ground black pepper
1 10 oz bag frozen peas (my bag was 12 oz.) - do not defrost!
4 tsp plain non-fat yogurt (optional)
Directions:
In a large pot, heat the olive oil and add the onions. Cook, will stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened.
Add the broth, tarragon and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Add the frozen peas and cook until just defrosted.
Spoon into a blender, puree until the soup is smooth. (mine never really got smooth).
Add the yogurt and swirl. (I couldn't get my yogurt to swirl - LOL!)

Verdict:
It is a super fast soup to make. If you love green peas, you are going to love this soup!! I like green peas, but it was almost too intense green pea flavor. Not sure I would make it again - I am on the fence on this one.
