Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen peas
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (parsley or chives) for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and aromatic, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potato and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Add the peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring they are tender but still vibrant green.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender and blend in batches.
- Stir in the heavy cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a dollop of cream and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Helpful Tips
For an even creamier texture, you can substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk. If fresh peas are in season, they will enhance the soup’s sweetness and color. For a bit of crunch, top with croutons or a sprinkle of crispy bacon.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth or water if the soup has thickened.
Pairings
This Pea Soup pairs wonderfully with a crunchy baguette, a fresh salad, or a glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc.
