Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 4 cloves garlic crushed and chopped
- 7 cups peas One 2-pound package frozen peas
- 4 cups chicken broth plus more if needed
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons salt more or less to taste
- pepper to taste
- 3/4 cup cream
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, melt butter over medium high heat.
- Add olive oil.
- When the mixture is hot, add the chopped onion and celery.
- Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are translucent.
- Add chopped garlic and stir for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the peas.
- Add 4 cups of chicken broth, thyme, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil over high heat. You can cover it to make it go faster, but keep an eye on it so it doesn't boil over.
- Once it boils, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the onions and celery are completely soft.
- Turn the heat off. Use your immersion blender to puree the soup, or use a regular blender with a towel over the top of the spout (to let steam escape). You'll have to do a few batches. The soup turns out a lot creamier when you use a real blender.
- If your soup is looking thick, feel free to add that last cup of chicken broth if you want.
- Add the cream to the soup and heat it up again on the stove if necessary.
- Serve with extra crunchy French bread!
Notes
- * you can use vegetable broth to make this vegetarian if you want.
- * Smoked paprika is not the same as regular paprika. Regular paprika will still taste good, but it won't lend that smoky flavor we're going for.
