Sweet Green Pea Soup

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Soups
The herald of spring on a plate. The sweetness of young green peas shines best if not overcooked, allowing their natural sugars to dominate. Thickening here is just a gesture, enough to give the broth 'body' without turning it into a stew.

Instructions

1 ✓

Finely chop onion, slice carrots and parsnip. Melt butter in pot and sauté onion.

Tip: Butter gives that creamy, sweet base that pairs best with peas.
2 ✓

Add carrots and parsnip, sauté 3-4 minutes, then toss in peas. Sprinkle with sugar and salt.

Tip: Sugar isn't for sweetening but to enhance the peas' natural flavor [flavor enhancement].
3 ✓

Dust with flour, stir quickly so fat absorbs it, then immediately pour in cold broth/water.

Tip: Adding cold liquid to floury base and stirring prevents lumps.
4 ✓

Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until carrots are tender. Peas usually take just enough time.

Tip: Taste peas: if soft, it's done. Don't cook to mush.
5 ✓

Finish by sprinkling with fresh parsley and serve. Can also add dumplings.

Tip: Parsley freshness crowns the soup at the end.

Recipe FAQ

Why did peas wrinkle?
Overcooked. Tender peas need only a few minutes.
Can I use frozen peas?
Yes! Frozen peas are often frozen immediately after harvest, so they can be sweeter than 'fresh' ones sitting for days.
