Pea & Potato Soup is a hearty, comforting dish that's perfect for chilly days. This deliciously creamy soup combines the earthiness of potatoes with the sweetness of peas, all wrapped up in a flavorful vegetable broth. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up this nutritious and satisfying meal in no time.
Instructions:
- Dice the onion and peel and dice the potatoes.
- Mince the garlic cloves and measure out the peas, vegetable broth, and sour cream.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic.
- Pour in the 4 cups of vegetable broth. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Add the ½ cup of peas to the pot. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, allow the soup to cool slightly and blend in batches using a regular blender.
- Stir in the 2 tablespoons of light sour cream until fully integrated and the soup is creamy.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of sour cream or fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, blend the soup using an immersion blender before adding the peas.
- If you prefer a chunkier soup, roughly mash the potatoes instead of fully blending them.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for additional flavor and a pop of color.
- For a richer taste, you can substitute regular sour cream or even Greek yogurt for the light sour cream.
- If you want to make this soup more filling, consider adding some cooked bacon bits or shredded chicken.
