Easy Sweet Pea Soup image

One Saturday afternoon I really wanted pea soup, but didn't have any in the cupboard and I didn't want to go to the store. So instead, I made my own. Oh-so-easy, this soup is yummy!

Time 20m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12 ounce) package frozen peas
water, to cover
1/2-1 cup chicken broth
1 pinch sugar
1 dash nutmeg
salt
pepper
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Cook frozen peas in a saucepan with water; cover and cook until peas are very tender (but not overly wrinkly).
  • Then drain and whir the peas in the blender or food processor until soup-like in texture, adding the chicken stock as necessary (you want a nice thick soup).
  • Take whirred peas from blender and put back into the saucepan, adding the pinch sugar, nutmeg, and salt/pepper.
  • Heat through.
  • Swirl a little sour cream into each serving, and this dish looks and tastes great!
  • Makes 3 to 4 servings.
  • You can add a little bit of minced onion in, if you like, and a few sliced mushrooms are good, too.
