frozen peas soup
(1 RATING)
This is the perfect solution for that bag of slightly freezer-burned peas that seemingly lives in the back of all freezers. But even you you must go to the store to purchase frozen peas, this is a great soup, wholly different from soup made with dried peas.

How To Make frozen peas soup
-
Step 1Put frozen peas in a sauce pan and cover with water, about a cup of water for every cup of peas.
-
Step 2Season the peas with salt, pepper and the herb of your choice. Dried mint is a wonderful choice but may be jarring to more conservative eaters who think of mint as being only suited to sweets.
-
Step 3When the peas are tender, use an immersion blender* to create a smooth soup, adding milk or cream as necessary to get a thick and pleasing consistency. Adjust the seasoning. *Alternatively, use a regular blender or a food mill to puree the peas.
-
Step 4Stir in the diced ham, heat through, and serve, garnished with the shredded cheese. Two problems solved: a delicious soup for supper and no more forgotten bags of peas in the back of the freezer!
