This is a quick, simple recipe for pea soup. I just made an adjustment for my taste buds. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 large onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups) |
2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth |
3/4 teaspoon tarragon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
fresh ground pepper |
1 (10 ounce) bag frozen peas |
1/2 cup chopped ham |
4 teaspoons plain nonfat yogurt (optional) |
Directions:
1. .Heat olive oil in a large pot over low-med. heat. Add onion, cover and cook until onions are softened (stir occasionally) about 5 minutes Then add broth, salt, a few turns of freshly ground black pepper and the tarragon, bring to a boil. Add the frozen peas and cook until they are defrosted.
2. In a blender, puree the soup in 2 batches until very smooth (or you can leave it just so ham is a little chunky or not).
3. return to the pot and just simmer.
4. Ladle into bowls while hot and finish off by puttin a swirl of smooth yogurt on top.
5. Or, you can put in the fridge and chill - if you like cold soup.
6. I serve oyster crachers or saltines with it or better yet? A nice crusty piece of bread.
7. and butter (oops-better not - it adds more calories) oh well your choice.
