Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Soup Recipes

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces pea shoots
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium sweet onion such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, finely chopped
1/4 cup Pernod (anise-flavored liqueur)
1 quart homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken or vegetable stock
1 pound shelled fresh peas or thawed frozen peas
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 pound small shrimp (18 to 22), peeled and deveined
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop just under half of the pea shoots; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes. Add liqueur; cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add stock and peas, and cook until peas are tender but still bright green, about 12 minutes. Add chopped pea shoots; cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Puree mixture in a blender in batches (so blender is never more than halfway full). Season with salt and pepper. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add shrimp; boil until pink and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain. Refrigerate shrimp and the pea puree separately until cold, about 1 hour.
  • Chop remaining pea shoots into 1-inch pieces; stir together with shallot, lemon juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl. Add shrimp; season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Divide soup among bowls, and top each serving with shrimp mixture.

Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Prioritize fresh peas for optimal flavor and texture. If unavailable, frozen peas can suffice, but fresh peas yield superior results.
  • Chilling Time: The soup benefits from chilling time, allowing the flavors to meld and develop. Plan to refrigerate the soup for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, before serving.
  • Serving Options: The chilled pea soup can be served as an appetizer in shooter glasses or small bowls. Consider garnishing with fresh herbs like mint or chives for an extra touch of flavor.
  • Dietary Considerations: This chilled pea soup is naturally vegetarian and gluten-free, making it suitable for various dietary preferences. For a vegan version, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative.
