CHILLED GREEN PEA SOUP WITH MINT AND AVOCADO



Chilled Green Pea Soup with Mint and Avocado image

This is a soup that I serve for special occasions (like Easter), and catering events (like weddings). It's relatively simple to make, and creates a wonderful presentation, when served in a martini glass. Although this soup is cooked and then cooled, you can skip the cooking and make the soup entirely in the blender. In...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted, or olive oil (extra virgin)
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 stalk(s) celery, finely chopped
4 c chicken stock, divided
6 c fresh peas or frozen peas, thawed (recommend fresh)
1/4 c fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 c fresh mint leaves
1 tsp fresh dill, finely chopped
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 medium ripe avocado, halved, stone removed, and flesh scraped out
salt, kosher variety, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 c crème fraîche, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Gather your ingredients.
  • 2. Place the stock in a saucepan and bring up to a lite simmer.
  • 3. Chef's Note: In most cases, you want to avoid adding cold ingredients to cooked ingredients; such as a cold stock to the hot veggies. It can do strange things to the taste of your final product.
  • 4. Place the butter (or olive oil) in a large pot over medium heat.
  • 5. Add the onion and the celery, and stir with a wooden spoon until the veggies are softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • 6. Chef's Note: Do not let them brown or burn.
  • 7. Add two cups of the chicken stock, and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • 8. Add the peas, and then immediately reduce the pot to a lite simmer.
  • 9. Allow the pot to lightly simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • 10. Remove from the heat, and add the remainder of the ingredients with the exception of the crème fraîche, salt, and pepper.
  • 11. Purée the soup in a blender, and then season with the salt and pepper, to taste.
  • 12. Chef's Tip: Have some additional stock on hand, just in case the soup is too thick.
  • 13. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the soup.
  • 14. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight.
  • 15. Serve cool, with a dollop of crème fraîche. Enjoy.
  • 16. Keep the faith, and keep cooking

CHILLED GREEN SOUP



Chilled Green Soup image

My sister and I put this refreshing soup together today as we were trying to use up some vegetables. It is so creamy and clean, pleasantly spicy from the radishes and the cabbage. The pepper is optional because it is already quite spicy as it is. This is very healthy, yet so yummy; feel free to add in cucumber, zucchini, or whatever you please! (Cooking time is optional chill time.)
