Ingredients

  • 3 cups petite green peas, frozen
  • 1 tsp canola oil
  • 8 oz sweet onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 3 cups chicken broth, low sodium
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 dash pepper

Directions

  • In a hot saucepan, coat with oil and brown onions and then garlic, about 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add chicken stock and bring to a boil.
  • Add the peas and cook until soft, about 5 to 8 minutes, check often. Do not overcook or they will darken.
  • During the last minute, add the spinach.
  • Immediately blend using a hand blender and when pureed, check for seasoning.
  • Soup will be a bit thick which is fine but for better texture strain or use a food mill. This last step is optional.
  • You can add a drizzle of basil oil to make this extra fancy. Serve with seared scallops for quick summer meal.
