Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 16-ounce packages frozen petite peas, divided (do not thaw)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups sliced shallots (about 11 ounces)
4 cups (or more) vegetable broth
3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, divided
Plain nonfat yogurt, stirred
Small fresh pea sprouts*

Steps:

  • Place 1 cup peas in microwave-safe bowl; set aside. Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until golden and almost tender, about 7 minutes. Add remaining peas, 4 cups broth, and 2 tablespoons tarragon; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and boil until flavors blend and peas are tender, about 7 minutes. Cool slightly. Working in batches, puree soup in blender until completely smooth. Return soup to same saucepan. Bring to simmer and thin with more broth by 1/4 cupfuls, if desired. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon tarragon. Season with pepper.
  • Cook reserved 1 cup peas in microwave until warm, about 1 minute.
  • Ladle soup into 6 bowls. Drizzle lightly with yogurt. Sprinkle whole peas over and garnish with pea sprouts.
  • *Available at natural foods stores and Asian markets.

This soup is a great base recipe. I added some chopped bacon and shredded cheddar cheese and it was delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as green as the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The soup was good, but I think it would have been better with fresh peas instead of frozen peas.

I found the soup to be a bit too thick. I would have preferred a thinner consistency.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

I added a little bit of extra tarragon to the soup and it was delicious. I love the way the herb pairs with the peas.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover peas. I had some frozen peas in my freezer and they worked perfectly in this recipe.
