Spring Pea Soup

One of the rites of spring is Spring Pea Soup. A wonderful lunch or a great first course for a ladies lunch. It's easy to do and tastes so like Spring!

It's Friday which means that it's Foodie Friday so let's join Michael at Designs by Gollum to see what everyone is cooking up this Friday!

Spring Pea Soup

1/2 onion (white or yellow)

1 package green peas

1 quart chicken broth (homemade or storebought)

salt and pepper to taste

Chop onion and saute in a little olive oil until soft and golden. Add broth and then peas. Cook until peas are done (not very long). Salt and pepper to taste. With a handheld blender puree until smooth (or you can use a regular blender if you wish). Heat until hot and garnish with fresh mint leaf.
