Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Thanks Christie. I have to dig put my cookbook and try this recipe. I have all the ingredients Donna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry " christie_0131 " <christie0131 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 13:41:29 Summery Pea Soup I needed lunch in a hurry yesterday and adapted this recipe from one in the Native Foods Restaurant Cookbook. Christie Summery Pea Soup 1 Tbsp olive oil 3 shallots, peeled and sliced 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 2 cups fresh or frozen peas 1 cup lettuce, shredded 5 cups water 1 tsp sea salt 1 tsp herbes de Provence 1/4 tsp lemon pepper or white pepper Garnish: Chopped chives Heat olive oil and gently sauté shallots until translucent. Add peas, water and seasonings. Simmer for 25-30 minutes. Cool slightly and blend well. Garnish with chopped chives. I added one cooked potato which needed using up and which made the soup a bit thicker. You could replace the herbes de Provence with mint and then this will be Potage Saint Germain.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I forgot to say that you should add the lettuce at the same time as the peas.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hope you like it, Donna. It would probably be ok as a chilled soup too for those of you actually getting a summer this year! The Native Foods recipe I adapted from is called Whirled Peas which is such a fabulous name - say it out loud and you will see! Christie , thelilacflower wrote: > > Thanks Christie.
