Pea Soup

(Fun fact: I've been meaning to publish this blog since May, 7, 2012. That's the date of the last edit. Today is the day! Anything underlined is what I've written/added today, February 17, 2015.)

I wasn't going to bother blogging about this soup, but I genuinely love it. It's what I cook. This is my blog. If I can't talk about it here, then where can I?!

This "recipe" came to be because I had to try Nigella Lawson's recipe called "Slime Soup." Click HERE for Nigella's recipe. Even though I never did spend the money or bother buying fresh mozzarella as called for, I became obsessed with this soup. I think I ate it (at least) once a day for months. I mean, I really couldn't get enough of it. 

My recipe is as follows:

Ingredients:
4C Water
1Tbl Better than chicken bouillon

1lb. Frozen Peas
1 Idaho Potato
1 Onion
2 Scallions aka Green Onions

Salt & Pepper

Provolone Cheese

Directions:

Peel and dice russet potato. Dice onion and chop scallion. Add to a soup pot with water and bouillon. Bring to a boil and boil for 10min. Add peas. Bring back to a boil, switch off the heat. Transfer the pot's contents into a blender. Remove the blender's top's insert and cover with a towel. Blend until smooth. Ladle and top with provolone cheese.

Pour into a small coffee cup or small bowl. Top with as much cheese as you please.

**the green onions are crucial. Here are some more recent pictures.

 

I prefer using white pepper in this recipe. Nigella turned me on to its musky warmth. Try it. You might like it.

as you can see I got a new blender since then. Christmas 2013?
