Green Peas Soup

I got the idea of making green peas soup after reading the entries for our first day of the blogging marathon. PJ has posted a very interesting recipe of green peas soup and I wanted to try it immediately. I was also running short of 2 recipes for this week's sub-theme and the green peas soup fitted perfectly for my theme this week. I haven't made much changes to the recipe that PJ has posted.

Since this is not the season of fresh peas, I used frozen peas to make this soup. Peas is one of my favourite vegegies and I keep adding it to anything I make, upma, some rices. I add them even to sambar and dal fries sometimes. I loved this soup and everyone at home appreciated it. It gave a warm feeling to have this soup on a rainy evening.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp Butter

1 Onion chopped

1 Potato chopped

1 Carrot chopped

1 clove garlic optional

1 cup green peas

1/4 cup Milk

Salt to Taste

black pepper freshly ground,to taste

Method:

• Blanch the frozen peas. Put them in hot water for about 10-15 minutes.
• I microwaved the chopped carrot, potato, onions and garlic for about 10 minutes.
• Grind the peas along with the microwaved vegetables to a very smooth paste.
• Add water as needed while grinding. We can use the hot water which we used to soak the peas.
• Transfer the ground paste to a pan; add the milk, salt, pepper and add water and adjust the consistency of the soup.
• Cook until you see froth coming in from the edges of the pan.

 Serve hot!!
