Fresh Pea Soup

Fresh Pea Soup

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
2 cups Basic Chicken Stock or low-sodium store-bought, or water
2 cups fresh green peas or thawed frozen petite green peas

Directions:
Salt and ground black pepper
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
MELT the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until
soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the stock or water and peas, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Increase the
heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer
until the peas are tender, 12 to 18 minutes.
Puree in a blender or food processor in batches until the soup is smooth. Whisk in the
sour cream and season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

EGG SALAD SANDWICHES
THESE RECALL MY FIRST 4-H DEMONSTRATION WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OLD. I PREPARED EGG
SALAD SANDWICHES AND EGGNOG, NOT A COMBINATION I SUGGEST ENJOYING TOGETHER!
BUT PAIRED WITH PEA SOUP, THIS CLASSIC HITS ALL THE RIGHT NOTES.
