Sweet Pea and Green Onion Soup

Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 6 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small sweet onion diced
  • 1 bunch green onions scallions, white and green parts separated, finely sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • Sea salt
  • 1 quart veggie stock
  • 10 ounces frozen or fresh peas
  • 6 ounces sugar snap peas finely chopped
  • 1 lemon quartered

Instructions

  • In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil over a medium flame. Saute the onion and white parts of the scallions until soft, about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and 1 teaspoon salt and cook for an additional minute.
  • Add the stock, turn the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes over medium heat. Stir in the peas, sugar snaps, and green scallions, reserving 1 tablespoon of each for garnish. Cook for 3 minutes, until the peas are cooked through and vibrant. You don't want to overcook - the soup should be as green as possible.
  • Puree using a standing blender, food processor, or immersion blender until very smooth. Taste for seasoning.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Garnish with the reserved scallions and snap peas. Soup is great warm or at room temperature.
