How to make green pea soup?

Get a large pot and sauté onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add frozen peas and cover with a lid. Cook this for about 5 minutes. You should not need to add any liquid at this stage. Frozen peas will release some so it will be steaming.

After 5 minutes, add vegetable stock. You can also add chicken broth/stock if you have it on hand. Bring this to a boil. Once it is boiling, turn off the heat. Puree the soup until smooth and you are done! Homemade green pea soup is ready to be served!

I also add a dollop of sour cream and smoked salmon. It gives the soup a nice flavor and also you get some extra protein that will keep you going for a while.

I have made this green pea soup several times using various stock-to-peas ratios. Some of you might like this pea soup thicker so you can add more peas. For those who prefer thinner soups, I recommend using either more broth or little less peas. If you ask me, I like this consistency.

Notes

• I used Himalayan salt. Sea salt or table salt is fine to use as well. However, they are saltier than Himalayan salt. Also, some broths are salted some are not. If you are not sure, it’s better to add salt in the end right after tasting the soup.
