Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 1 pack of peas, frozen
  • 1 onion(s), finely diced
  • 1 liter chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • ½ tsp, leveled salt
  • pepper
  • nutmeg
  • 125 ml cream or cream substitute
  • oil
  • 1 shot of dry sherry

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 10 minutes

Heat a pan of oil and sauté the onion. Add the peas (I let them thaw overnight, but it’s not necessary) and pour in the broth; I find chicken broth more flavorful than vegetable broth. Simmer everything for about 15 minutes. Purée the soup finely; for a more delicate texture, strain it through a sieve. Add the cream and a dash of sherry. Season with salt, pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg. For a more exclusive soup, you can add some chopped trout fillets or smoked salmon strips. Serve with toasted baguette.
