Steps:
- 1. Gather your ingredients.
- 2. Place the stock in a saucepan and bring up to a lite simmer.
- 3. Chef's Note: In most cases, you want to avoid adding cold ingredients to cooked ingredients; such as a cold stock to the hot veggies. It can do strange things to the taste of your final product.
- 4. Place the butter (or olive oil) in a large pot over medium heat.
- 5. Add the onion and the celery, and stir with a wooden spoon until the veggies are softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- 6. Chef's Note: Do not let them brown or burn.
- 7. Add two cups of the chicken stock, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- 8. Add the peas, and then immediately reduce the pot to a lite simmer.
- 9. Allow the pot to lightly simmer for about 5 minutes.
- 10. Remove from the heat, and add the remainder of the ingredients with the exception of the crème fraîche, salt, and pepper.
- 11. Purée the soup in a blender, and then season with the salt and pepper, to taste.
- 12. Chef's Tip: Have some additional stock on hand, just in case the soup is too thick.
- 13. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the soup.
- 14. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight.
- 15. Serve cool, with a dollop of crème fraîche. Enjoy.
- 16. Keep the faith, and keep cooking
