LEMONY PEA AND SPINACH SOUP



Lemony Pea and Spinach Soup image

This verdant soup has nuance: Celery, leeks and vermouth provide grassy notes, just subtle enough so as not to obscure the delicate flavor of the peas. Bright and sunny - and hearty and comforting with the optional addition of pasta - it tastes like spring, but can be prepared perennially. Unlike many one-note blended pea soups, this one celebrates textures and flavors: Divide your soup across several bowls, then add a spoonful of pasta and a dollop of crème fraîche for bright tanginess. Because this light soup is vegetable-based, drizzle it with plenty of olive oil, for richness, and pile on as many fresh herbs as you can. Lemon zest is a garnish, but nonnegotiable for this dish to sparkle.

Provided by Alexa Weibel

Categories     soups and stews, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
2 medium leeks (about 1 pound), trimmed, white and green portions halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced and rinsed (about 4 packed cups)
2 celery stalks, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup vermouth or white wine
3 garlic cloves, minced
5 cups chicken stock
16 ounces frozen peas (about 3 3/4 cups) (see Tip)
5 ounces fresh baby spinach (about 5 packed cups)
1/2 packed cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves and tender stems, plus more for serving
1 to 1 1/2 cups small shaped pasta, such as ditali or shells (optional), cooked (about 2 to 3 cups)
Crème fraîche, for serving
Chopped chives and torn fresh dill, for serving
1 lemon, for zesting

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium. Add the leeks and celery, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the vermouth and garlic, and cook until the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once it comes to a boil, add the frozen peas and cook, stirring occasionally, just until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in the spinach until wilted. Stir in the parsley.
  • Working in batches, transfer to a high-power blender and purée until creamy. (A food processor or immersion blender would work as well, though may take a little longer.) Return to the pot and season to taste with salt and pepper. (Makes about 12 cups.)
  • Divide among bowls. Add pasta, if using, then top with a dollop of crème fraiche. Drizzle generously - nay, recklessly! - with olive oil. Sprinkle with a pile of herbs; grate fresh lemon zest on top; and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Soak the split peas overnight: This will help them cook more evenly and quickly. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, potatoes, and spinach.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Split pea soup is best when it is slightly thick and creamy. If you cook it for too long, it will become mushy.
  • Add a flavorful broth: Use a savory vegetable or chicken broth to add flavor to your soup. You can also use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Split pea soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. With a few simple tips, you can easily make a delicious pot of split pea soup at home. So next time you're looking for a comforting and nutritious meal, give this recipe a try.
