Rice And Spring Pea Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the scallions and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the scallions are tender, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the peas, stock and 1 cup of water. Bring to boil, then simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes to allow the peas to soften further.
• Using a jar blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth (see Cook's Note). Pour the soup back into the pot, then add the sour cream and honey, and gently warm for 1 to 2 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Garnish the bottom of each serving bowl with the fresh pea slices and basil leaves. Ladle the soup on top and serve.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute potatoes in butter until lightly browned. Stir in broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, 10-15 minutes. Add peas; cook until peas are tender, 5-8 minutes. Cool slightly., In a blender, process soup in batches until smooth. Return all to the pan; heat through. Sprinkle with chives and, if desired, microgreens.

Steps:

• Rinse the peas.
• Put them in a soup pot with 3 cups of water and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, saute the onions and garlic in olive oil until onions are translucent.
• Mix in the spices and saute for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Set aside.
• When peas are cooked, stir in the onion mixture along with the stock.

• Stir in the parsley and gently reheat.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil and butter in a 4 to 5 quart pot over medium heat until the butter is foaming.

• Adjust heat to simmering and cook until the peas and other vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes.
