Green Pea Soup

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 vidalia onion, diced
• 3 cups low sodium chicken broth (i make mine from better than bouillon chicken base)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
• 1 (10 ounce) bag green peas, organic and frozen
• 1 teaspoon tarragon
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon nonfat plain yogurt (optional)

Recipe

• 1 in a medium pot over medium heat, cook the onions in the olive oil until soft.
• 2 once the onions are cooked, add the broth, tarragon, garlic powder, and pepper. bring to a boil.
• 3 add the frozen peas and boil until cooked.
• 4 next, you will blend the mixture in two batches. it is necessary to do it in batches so that the soup doesn't explode on you due to the heat! (trust me, i did this.) pour about half the mixture into a blender or food processor and liquify. use a strainer to pour the first batch back into the pot. blend the second batch and strain back into the pot as well.
• 5 reheat or serve cold. garnish with a little bit of yogurt if desired.
