Please listen to episode four (available in April 2020) on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Anchor, Google Podcasts, or just about anywhere you listen to a podcast!


Ingredients:

  • 1 Quart of Broth (I used bone broth, but vegetable or chicken broth also works)

  • 6 Cups of Frozen Sweet Peas or Fresh Peas without the pod

  • 1 Sweet Vidalia Onion

  • 1/4 a cup of fresh Oregano **

  • 1/2 a cup of fresh Mint **

  • 2-3 Tbsp’s of olive oil

  • 3 Bay Leaves

  • 1-2 cloves of garlic, or 1 Tbsp garlic powder if fresh is not available

  • Sea Salt to taste

  • Black Pepper to taste

  • Chives or Green Onion for garnish (optional)

  • Crumbled Feta Cheese for garnish (optional)

About 30 minutes


Directions:


Step 1: Dice onion and gently saute in the bottom of a medium sized pot with olive oil. Add bay leaves once onions turn translucent. Do not brown.

Step 2: Add garlic or garlic powder, and gently stir in.

Step 3: Add broth and bring to a boil once garlic smells fragrant. Add peas, return to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 4: During this time wash and roughly chop your herbs.

Step 5: Add herbs, salt, and pepper. Remove bay leaves before blending. Use an immersion blender or pour into a regular blender in batches to puree.

Step 6: Add garnish if desired.


Enjoy!





Tips:

  1. Rebecca used parsley instead of oregano. Make use of your garden herbs!
