Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 6 cups peas fresh or frozen
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Sauté the onion: Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the peas: Stir in the peas (fresh or frozen, no need to thaw for frozen peas) and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Simmer in stock: Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
  • Blend and season: Using an immersion blender or transferring the soup to a blender, puree until smooth. Return to the pot.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and heat through, without boiling.
  • Serve and enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings (optional: fresh herbs, croutons, crispy bacon bits, parmesan cheese).

Notes

This is delicious served with crusty bread or alongside a grilled cheese
