SIMPLE HEALTHY GREEN PEA SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot butter until golden and translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir garlic into onions and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir peas and dill into onion mixture and pour in enough chicken broth to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until hot, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir milk into soup.
• Puree soup with an immersion blender or pour pea soup into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

PEAS AND CORN

Steps:

• Place the peas and corn in a microwave safe casserole dish. Sprinkle the vegetables with 1/4 cup water.
• Cover the casserole with plastic wrap or the lid, pull back one corner to vent, and microwave the vegetables on high for 6 minutes. Stir the vegetables gently. Then microwave the peas and corn, uncovered, for 2 minutes longer.
• Drain the vegetables well and return them to the casserole dish. Add the butter and seasonings to the vegetables. Stir gently, then microwave, uncovered, for one minute longer, or until the butter is melted and the vegetables are hot. Let stand for 2 minutes on a solid surface so the heat distributes evenly, stir gently, and serve immediately.

GREEN PEA SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the olive oil over moderately-low heat. Add the onion, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, tarragon, salt and a few turns of freshly ground black pepper and bring to a boil. Add the peas and cook just until defrosted.
• In a blender, puree the soup in 2 batches until very smooth. If serving hot, return the soup to the pot and bring just to a simmer. If serving cold, transfer to the refrigerator to chill. Ladle into bowls. Stir the yogurt so that it is smooth and top each serving with a swirl of yogurt.

CORN & SPLIT PEA CHOWDER

Steps:

• Tip the split peas, celery and thyme sprig into a medium pan with 1 litre of boiling water, bring back to the boil and simmer, covered, for 25 mins.
• Meanwhile, fry the onion in the oil in a large pan for 10 mins. Stir in the ginger, chilli and garlic. Tip in the pepper and potato, and pour in ½ litre boiling water with the bouillon and remaining thyme. Tip in the split pea mixture and corn, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 30-35 mins until the veg is tender.
• Remove the thyme sprig. Take out a third of the veg, then purée the rest in the pan with a hand blender (or use a potato masher). Return the veg to the pan with the yogurt, and stir well. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, eat two portions now, and cool then chill the rest for another day. Will keep in the fridge for three days.
