This is a quick, simple recipe for pea soup. Ellie Kreiger on Food Network made this. I just made an adjustment for my taste buds.

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon tarragon
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper
1 (10 ounce) bag frozen peas
1/2 cup chopped ham
4 teaspoons plain nonfat yogurt (optional)

Steps:

  • .Heat olive oil in a large pot over low-med. heat. Add onion, cover and cook until onions are softened (stir occasionally) about 5 minutes Then add broth, salt, a few turns of freshly ground black pepper and the tarragon, bring to a boil. Add the frozen peas and cook until they are defrosted.
  • In a blender, puree the soup in 2 batches until very smooth (or you can leave it just so ham is a little chunky or not).
  • return to the pot and just simmer.
  • Ladle into bowls while hot and finish off by puttin a swirl of smooth yogurt on top.
  • Or, you can put in the fridge and chill - if you like cold soup.
  • I serve oyster crachers or saltines with it or better yet? A nice crusty piece of bread.
  • and butter (oops--better not - it adds more calories) oh well your choice.
