6 Ingredient Quick Pea Soup

I have searched for pea soup recipes and developed this one based on several that I have read. This one can be made in minutes as it is made with frozen peas rather than dried split peas. The recipe is gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan as a base. 

Base Ingredients:

1 lb. bag of frozen peas

1 potato (I use organic)

1 onion

1 inch piece of ginger root – peeled and diced

1/2 cup diced almonds – toasted or roasted

4 cups low sodium vegetable broth

Variations:

Add traditional protein sources: ham or canadian bacon (1 cup)

Substitute 1 lb. asparagus for the peas

Substitute 2 shallots for the onion

Instructions:

1.     Dice the onion and almonds and sauté in walnut oil until onion turns translucent. Add the ginger just before you finish cooking the onions.

2.     Add the peas, diced potato, and broth.

3.     Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Cook until potato is soft.

4.     You can enjoy the soup at this point…or blend to thicken like a traditional split pea soup.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve alone or garnish with:

·      Super Seedz Really Naked (Unsalted) or Curious Curry to add extra protein and a crunchy texture. Sometimes the crunch/chew is what we need to feel satiated!

·      Slivered Almonds

·      Sesame Seeds

·      Gluten Free Bread Crumbs
