OLD-FASHIONED SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH HAM BONE



Old-Fashioned Split Pea Soup with Ham Bone image

Not only is this old-fashioned favorite a snap to make but it's economical, too. Carrots, celery and onion accent the subtle flavor of the split peas, while a ham bone adds a meaty touch to this hearty soup. It's sure to chase away autumn's chill. -Laurie Todd, Columbus, Mississippi

SPRING PEA SOUP WITH ASPARAGUS AND POTATOES



Spring Pea Soup with Asparagus and Potatoes image

Sauteed leek, celery, and carrot form a flavorful base; potatoes add heft; and Parmesan rind makes the broth luxurious and savory. But the real stars of the dish are asparagus, English peas, and sugar snap peas, each contributing seasonal flavor to every spoonful.

SPRING PEA SOUP



Spring Pea Soup image

Want a tasty, textured pea soup that tastes like springtime? You have to start in the freezer section of the supermarket to get the best results. I like frozen peas to build the base of the soup and then enrich it, last minute, with some fresh peas. Lots of people add bacon or Parmesan to garnish, and that's all fine to me, but I largely prefer the crunch of fresh peas or pea tops (a true sign of spring) and a dollop of sour cream. Use whatever peas are at the supermarket, sugar snap or snow peas.

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 scallions, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 10-ounce packages frozen peas, thawed
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons honey
1 cup sugar snap or snow peas, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
Leaves picked from 6 to 8 stems fresh basil

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the scallions and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the scallions are tender, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the peas, stock and 1 cup of water. Bring to boil, then simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes to allow the peas to soften further.
  • Using a jar blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth (see Cook's Note). Pour the soup back into the pot, then add the sour cream and honey, and gently warm for 1 to 2 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Garnish the bottom of each serving bowl with the fresh pea slices and basil leaves. Ladle the soup on top and serve.

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts (2 leeks)
1 cup chopped yellow onion
4 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
5 cups freshly shelled peas or 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen peas
2/3 cup chopped fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup creme fraiche
1/2 cup freshly chopped chives
Garlic croutons, for serving

Add the chicken stock, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the peas are tender. (Frozen peas will take only 3 minutes.) Off the heat, add the mint, salt, and pepper.

With the blender still running, open the venthole in the lid and slowly add more soup until the blender is three-quarters full. Pour the soup into a large bowl and repeat until all the soup is pureed. Whisk in the creme fraiche and chives and taste for seasoning. Serve hot with garlic croutons.

CHILLED SUGAR SNAP PEA SOUP



Chilled Sugar Snap Pea Soup image

We're doing this classic cold spring soup, and instead of using English peas, we're using sugar snaps which are going to save you a lot of shelling time. This is an incredibly easy soup to make, beautiful to look at, and most important of all, incredibly delicious.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes

Time 3h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup leeks - halved lengthwise and chopped
1 pinch salt
4 cups chicken broth
ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 pound sugar snap peas, ends and strings removed
2 fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon creme fraiche
2 fresh mint leaves, cut into very fine strips

Steps:

  • Pour olive oil into a large pot, set over medium heat, and add leeks to hot oil. Season leeks with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until leeks are soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour chicken broth into leeks; bring to a boil. Season with black pepper and cayenne pepper.
  • Stir peas into boiling broth mixture and add 2 mint leaves. Bring back to a boil and cook until peas are bright green and have started to soften, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Turn off heat; use a slotted spoon to transfer vegetables into a large blender, leaving liquid in pot. Pour half the liquid from the pot into the blender, place a folded towel on the blender lid, and pulse a few times to chop vegetables. Blend at high speed to puree vegetables. Add remaining liquid from pot to blender and liquefy the soup until smooth.
  • Pour soup from blender into a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl and use a spatula to push soup through the strainer, leaving the tough fibrous material behind.
  • Cool soup to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 3 hours.
  • Season cold soup with salt and adjust cayenne pepper. Ladle soup into a serving bowl. Spoon creme fraiche into a plastic squeeze bottle and squeeze the creme fraiche over the top of the soup in a loose spiral. Use a skewer to pull the spiral into flower petal shapes, starting from the middle and quickly pulling the skewer through the creme to make pointed petal shapes. Serve garnished with strips of fresh mint.

CHILLED PEA, LETTUCE AND HERB SOUP



Chilled Pea, Lettuce and Herb Soup image

This elegant soup is sweet and heavenly. The texture is silky and the consistency thick -- but only because there are lots of peas in it. I used water rather than stock when I tested this recipe, and it worked just fine.
