Optional: Drizzle of greek yogurt
Instructions
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large pot.
Add in the garlic and onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they start to brown.
Add in your frozen peas, salt and pepper and stir occasionally, for about 1 minute.
Next, pour in the vegetable broth and turn the heat up to high for about 5 minutes until it comes to a boil.
Remove the pot from the oven and let sit 5-10 minutes to cool slightly.
Then, blend the soup in the pot using an immersion blender or in batches using a stand blender.
Once the soup is blended, heat on medium-low in the pot for about 5 minutes, taste and add additional salt and pepper to your liking.
Serve with a drizzle of greek yogurt, your favourite crackers or grilled cheese!
Notes
Watch the colour of the peas; you want them to stay their vibrant green colour so even it if hasn’t come to a boil yet but your peas start to turn a different colour of green thats the time to take the pot off the heat.
Important note about pureeing hot soup: When pureeing soup that is still hot, there are a couple of tips to remember – Fill your blender only half-way. Hold the lid tight, covering with a towel when blending. Start blending on low and then increase the speed. This should keep things tidier in the kitchen** Why is this important? The heat from the soup can potentially cause the lid to pop and spray hot soup, so use the tips for soup success! Your other option is to puree the soup in the soup pot with an immersion blender.
