30 Minute Pea Soup Food

30-MINUTE HEALTHY GREEN PEA SOUP

Steps:

• Slice shallots and onions very thin.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in onions and sauté for 2-4 minutes, then add shallots and sauté for about 5 more minutes until they start to brown.
• Add vegetable broth and water and bring to a boil.
• Once boiling, add the peas and return to a boil.
• When the mixture starts to boil, drop the temperature to a simmer and cook 8-10 minutes, or until the peas are soft.
• Remove from the heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• Add to a blender and remove the center pour-lid, then cover it with a towel - this will allow the soup's heat to escape and prevent a blender blow-up!
• Blend on high speed until the soup is smooth and well-combined. It will look very liquid, but that's how it's supposed to be. It thickens as it cools and rests - by the time you enjoy it, it is the perfect consistency and loaded with flavor.
• Serve, allow to cool, and enjoy!

30 MINUTE PEA SOUP

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, melt butter over medium high heat.
• Add olive oil.
• When the mixture is hot, add the chopped onion and celery.
• Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are translucent.
• Add chopped garlic and stir for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
• Add the peas.
• Add 7 cups of chicken broth, thyme, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil over high heat. You can cover it to make it go faster, but keep an eye on it so it doesn't boil over.
• Once it boils, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the onions and celery are completely soft.
• Turn the heat off. Use your immersion blender to puree the soup, or use a regular blender with a towel over the top of the spout (to let steam escape). You'll have to do a few batches.
• If your soup is looking thick, feel free to add that last cup of chicken broth if you want.
• Add the cream to the soup and heat it up again on the stove if necessary.
• Serve with extra crunchy French bread!

30-MINUTE PRESSURE COOKER SPLIT PEA AND HAM SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and ham and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
• Add peas, chicken stock or water, and bay leaves. Stir to combine, then cover pot and bring to high pressure. Cook for 20 minutes, then rapidly release pressure by opening the air valve. Open pot lid, stir contents until smooth, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve. Carefully clean the pressure cooker's gasket and valves as soon as the pot is cool enough to handle; pea soup can easily clog valves, which can cause your cooker to over-pressurize the next time you use it. Soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

SPLIT PEA SOUP

Steps:

• Heat peas and water to boiling in 4-quart Dutch oven. Boil uncovered 2 minutes; remove from heat. Cover and let stand 1 hour.
• Stir in onion, celery and pepper. Add ham bone. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 1 hour 30 minutes or until peas are tender.
• Remove ham bone; remove ham from bone. Trim excess fat from ham; cut ham into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Stir ham and carrots into soup. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 30 minutes or until carrots are tender and soup is desired consistency.

QUICK SWEET PEA SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook onion about 10 minutes or until lightly browned and soft, stirring frequently.
• Blend onion, peas, spinach, lemon juice, thyme and 2 cups chicken broth in a blender or food processor until very smooth. Return to same saucepan. Stir in remaining broth. Gently heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in cream, if desired. Heat over low heat about 1 minute. DO NOT BOIL. Garnish with garlic croutons, if desired.

30-MINUTE PEA AND ASPARAGUS SOUP

Steps:

• Pour the stock into a 2 qt/2 L pot and set on the stove over high heat. (If you work quickly, cover the pot to boil even quicker.) Rinse the green onions, trim and chop them roughly, add them to the stock with the frozen peas, and bring to a boil.
• Rinse the asparagus spears, remove the tips and set aside. Roughly chop the stems (you can use the whole stem as it's all going to be pureed) and add them to the saucepan with a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer 10-15 minutes, or until asparagus is tender.
• Meanwhile, snip the bacon slices directly into a hot frying pan and fry until crisp and golden. Transfer these to a plate and set aside for garnish.
• If there is not enough bacon fat left in the pan for frying, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil and heat. Cut the bread into small dice and fry for 2-3 minutes over high heat, turning frequently, until golden, then set aside to drain on kitchen paper (paper towel) for garnish.
• When the peas and asparagus are done, blend or process the soup to a puree. You can use a hand blender to blend the soup right in the pot. Just be sure to keep it pointing down and keep the entire head of the blender under the surface of the soup (to avoid spraying yourself with hot green liquid!).
• Add the reserved asparagus tips to the pea soup and simmer for 5 minutes, or until tender.
• Pour the soup into warmed serving bowls. Swirl a little whipped cream into each (we set a round of goat cheese on the surface of the soup, so it melted in a bit) and sprinkle with the crispy bacon pieces, croutons, and some freshly ground black pepper to serve.
