SPROUTED PEA SOUP
This is one of those "invented by error" recipes, and basically a Spring mistake. When I found there were still peas left on the plants when I was pulling them up in the late Spring, I saved them. You know the kind... we call them "square peas". There were just too many to throw away. I put them in the refrigerator, intending to deal with them later. They sprouted. I rinsed them and put them in a jar... rinsed them again... and they actually looked inticing, or maybe interesting. We eat a lot of chicken, so I frequently make chicken stock, and had some on hand. (We also grow shallots, onions, and garlic.) I do try to keep up with the peas, so this is not a frequent soup. Amounts are up to the discretion of the cook.

Steps:
- 1. Place the peas, water, and bay leaves in a large heavy kettle over high heat. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until the peas are tender. 2. While the peas are cooking, heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, and sauté about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add the carrots and sauté another 5 minutes or until tender. 3. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Transfer the cooked peas and cooking water to a blender, and purée until smooth and creamy. 4. Return the purée to the pot. Add the sautéed vegetables, savory, and salt. Simmer for 2 or 3 minutes. Serve piping hot!
