Questions about Green pea soup
How do you make green pea soup taste brighter?
Soften chopped onion in a little butter or oil, add peas and stock, and simmer until the peas are tender; frozen peas usually need only 3–5 minutes. Blend with mint and a squeeze of lemon, adding the lemon after cooking to keep the flavour fresh.
Can you make green pea soup with frozen peas?
Yes. Add frozen peas straight to hot stock and simmer for 3–5 minutes, just until tender; boiling them for too long dulls their colour and flavour. Blend at once for a vivid, smooth soup.
How can you thicken green pea soup without cream?
Blend some or all of the peas, or simmer a diced potato in the stock until soft before blending. For a chunkier soup, mash a ladleful of peas against the side of the pan and stir them back in.
What goes well with green pea soup?
Mint, lemon, spring onions and black pepper bring out the peas’ sweetness. Serve it with crusty bread, or top it with croutons, a spoonful of yoghurt or crisp bacon; smoked ham is a classic savoury pairing.
Can you freeze green pea soup?
Cool it promptly, then freeze in sealed portions for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat until piping hot; if the soup contains cream, it may separate, so blend or whisk it after reheating.
How long does green pea soup keep in the fridge?
Keep it in a covered container and use it within 3–4 days. Cool leftovers promptly rather than leaving the pan out, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat until piping hot.
Is green pea soup the same as split pea soup?
No. Green pea soup is commonly made with fresh or frozen green peas and has a light, sweet flavour; split pea soup uses dried peas, which are simmered much longer and make a heartier, earthier soup. Split pea soup has 71 kcal per 100 g, compared with 125 kcal in green pea soup.
How much protein is in a bowl of green pea soup?
A typical portion of 128 g provides 6.5 g of protein per 100 g of soup, or about 8.4 g for the portion.
