So I have made this soup many times and never followed much of a recipe. I usually made the soup with whatever was in my house at the time, just as long as I had peas. Carrots, celery, potatoes and onion, all good to add flavor and texture. That said, obviously I didnt have any of those ingredients for my soup, but what I did have was chicken broth, garlic powder and bacon, which all combined give great flavor
I wasnt planning on a 85 degree June day to make soup, but while waiting for a perscription and my son and neice were debating which rubberband braclettes to purchase with their $2.00(in change I might add), I perused the staple food aisle at Wags. Staring me in the face was the canned peas, and I thought instantly of Pasta Carbonara with Peas, but I want to save that for a night when Michael is home, and tonight he had a baseball playoff game. I spotted the chicken broth next, and it hit me how much my brother likes cream of pea soup, and I didnt look any further.
I grabbed 2 cans of peas, a can of chicken broth. I had at home all the spices I could need and if I decided to make the soup non vegan, I had bacon left over from my bacon wrapped dates.
Upon examing my spiced, I decided to use dried onion, garlic salt, pepper, and the bacon was a go go.
I thought all and all the soup came out good.
ingredients and recipe:
2 cans canned peas $3.98
1 can chicken broth .99
1 tsp dried onion
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
2 strips of bacon
1 tsp olive oil
(salt)
cook bacon in skillet, discard 3/4 bacon grease
in soup pot add all ingredients, including bacon and grease
heat on medium for 15-20 minutes, stirring so nothing sticks to bottom of pan
remove from heat, let cool 10 minutes
pour entire content of soup pot in food proccessor or blender
blend until smooth and creamy
pour back in soup pot and heat another 10 minutes
serve
