A delicious, creamy summer soup. This is very rich, serve in small portions. I have made this using regular sour cream and also light sour cream with good results either way. Ingredients:
1 (10 ounce) package frozen tiny peas, thawed |
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth |
1 cup sour cream (plus extra for garnishing) |
1 teaspoon salt, to taste |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Set aside a few peas to use as garnish.
2. In a blender, puree peas, broth, and 1 cup sour cream.
3. Strain through a mesh strainer, pressing with spoon to get all the liquid seived into a bowl, and discard remaining solids.
4. Season to taste with salt and pepper, adjusting with as much or as little as you prefer.
5. Chill well.
6. Serve garnished with a bit of the reserved whole peas, and if deisred a little drop of sour cream or even a swirl of heavy cream if desired.
