PEA AND MINT SOUP
This is a simple, delicious soup that can be served either hot or cold. Adding ham is optional. Note the chopping of veggies in the ingredient section. Once everything is prepped, the soup comes together in a snap! This soup goes well with a nice piece of crusty bread...or toasted bread drizzled with a little bit of olive oil. Thanks go to Jamie Oliver!

Steps:
- Pour the broth into a medium saucepan and heat until boiling.
- In a separate, large saucepan on medium heat, add 2 T. of olive oil.
- Add the prepped carrots, celery, onions and garlic and mix together. Put a lid on, slightly off center so some steam can escape. Cook this for about 10 minutes, until the carrots are tender but still holding their shape and the onions are golden.
- Add the boiling broth to the veggies.
- Add the peas.
- Stir and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, bring the soup to a simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes, until peas are softened.
- Take the pan off the heat and season with salt and pepper and add some mint leaves. *Jamie says to use a small bunch. I think this is a matter of personal taste, in terms of how much mint flavor you like to shine through. Start out small and increase until your taste buds are pleased! I added about half a bunch of chopped mint and thought it was enough for my tastes.
- Using an immersion blender (or blender), blend the soup until smooth. (If you are using a regular blender, do it in batches so the hot soup won't come out the top of your blender).
- Optional:.
- If you are using ham, chop it up into bite-size pieces and stir it into the blended soup.
- Heat the soup through before serving OR let it cool, store it in your fridge and eat it cold anytime you'd like!

PEA AND MINT PESTO CROSTINI
This is a recipe based on one by Giada De Laurentiis. It's superb! It freezes well with no discoloration so it's easy to make ahead or to freeze leftovers (not that there ever is in my house). If you don't want to make the crostini, spread the pea pesto on Melba toast or other very crisp crackers. Don't skip the tomatoes as they really finish the dish. I usually use sourdough bread for this.This also makes a great sauce for chicken or fish.

Steps:
- For the pea pesto: Pulse together the peas, Parmesan, garlic, and mint with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a food processor. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil until everything is well combined and you have a smooth puree, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- For the crostini: Brush one side of the sliced bread with olive oil and toast it until golden brown and crispy. You can grill the bread if you prefer.
- Transfer the bread to a serving platter. If necessary, cut the bread slices so that you have slices about 2 inches long. Spread one heaping tablespoon of the pea pesto on each slice. Top each slice with a tomato half or a bit of diced tomato and serve.
- For maximum crispiness, use day old bread or fresh bread that's been dried out in a 300F oven for about 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Select Fresh Peas: Use fresh, young peas for the best flavor and texture. Look for peas that are plump and bright green.
- Blanch the Peas: Blanching the peas briefly in boiling water helps to preserve their color and sweetness. Be sure to shock them in cold water immediately after blanching to stop the cooking process.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh mint is essential for this recipe. Use plenty of it to add a bright, refreshing flavor to the peas.
- Use Good Butter: Use unsalted butter for the best flavor. You can also use vegan butter or margarine if you prefer.
- Season to Taste: Taste the pea and mint mash before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
- Serve Immediately: Pea and mint mash is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can also make it ahead of time and reheat it gently before serving.
