How To Make chilled pea soup

Step 1

In a saucepan over medium heat, add butter and oil. Add onions and celery; season with salt. Sauté for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add broth, frozen peas, thyme, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat back to medium and simmer for 5 minutes or until peas are tender, stirring occasionally.
Step 3

Remove from the heat and allow to cool, about 30 minutes.
Step 4

Transfer the mixture to the jar of a blender. Process until smooth; taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 5

Pour in a large bowl and add half-and-half; stir to blend.
Step 6

Cover and transfer to the fridge for 4 hours or until very chilled. When ready to serve, we’ll garnish with crumbled bacon and chopped chives.
