Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2-3 large cloves garlic chopped
- 2-3 large shallots chopped (about 5.5 ounces or 155 grams)
- ½ cup pistachios
- salt and pepper
- ½ bushel fresh parsley about 1 to 1 ½ cups chopped (alternative: cilantro)
- 1 bag frozen peas (about 3 ½ cups) 16 ounce/ 454 grams
- 32 oz lightly-flavored vegetable broth (about 4 cups) 946 ml
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable Broth and Seasoning optional
- Sour Cream to garnish optional and omit if you want to keep it dairy-free and vegan-friendly
Instructions
- In a stockpot (minimum 5 QT), heat the oil over medium heat. Add in garlic, shallots, and nuts—season with a few pinches of salt.
- Cook and stir for about 2 minutes; do not allow to brown.
- Stir in the parsley and the peas.
- Immediately add the vegetable broth and water (see note).
- Season to taste with salt, pepper, and vegetable seasoning (optional).
- Let come to a gentle simmer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the peas are ready. Stir occasionally.
- Turn the stove off and let the soup cool a little.
- With a hand mixer, blend the ingredients until you have pureed all the ingredients. Reheat, if necessary, before serving. You can also use a blender or food processor that can handle warm liquids, to puree the soup in batches.
Notes
- For a substitution: Instead of 1 package of vegetable broth plus 1 cup of water, you can also use 5 cups of water and two low-sodium bouillon cubes.
