Ingredients

  • 6 T unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 c chopped yellow onion
  • 7c frozen peas
  • 3 c chicken stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sour cream to taste
  • 4 thin slices of prosciutto, sliced thinly and crisped in a toaster oven. You can also use thin sliced bacon.

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add the onions and cook over low heat until soft and translucent, about 15 minutes.

  2. Add the peas and stock and simmer for 5-10 minutes, just until the peas are tender.

  3. Transfer the soup to a food processor (or use a stick blender) and carefully puree until smooth.

  4. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. This is where the recipe and I went our separate ways. The recipe calls for a ”garnish” of sour cream to be added when the soup is served.

  6. Serve with prosciutto or bacon.
