This recipe is super easy and quick to make. It would be great for any upcoming St. Patty's Day events as well. Enjoy!
Fresh English Pea Soup with Mint
- 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (my favorite is McEvoy Ranch)
- 10 oz bag of english peas
- 1 small sweet onion, diced small
- 2-3 cups low sodium chicken stock (I use Trader Joe's)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 2 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped
- Greek yogurt for topping (I use 0% Fage)
- In a medium dutch oven or soup pot, heat olive oil over medium high heat and add onion. Sauté until onions are translucent, approx 5 minutes.
- Add chicken stock and bring to a boil
- Add English peas and cook until tender, approx 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in salt, pepper and chopped mint.
- Blend soup until smooth with a hand blender or regular blender. If soup is too thick, add more chicken stock and blend to the desired consistency.
- Serve with a dollop of greek yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped mint. Enjoy!
- If you can't find fresh peas, you can substitute with frozen. I recommend using sweet peas if you can't find frozen English peas.
- Add more or less chicken stock depending on your preference. I tend to like a thicker soup and used 3-1/2 cups when I made the recipe.
