Green Pea Soup

Keeping low-carb vegetables and fruit in the freezer is a great way to stay on top of your diet. Spinach, strawberries, peaches, edamame and green peas are just some of the frozen produce I keep in stock. Green peas are low carb and easy to throw into salads or soup. Here is a quick soup recipe.

10oz bag frozen green peas
1 onion chopped
1 tbsp butter or oil
salt and pepper
thyme
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1/2 cup Greek or non-fat yogurt

Heat butter or olive oil in a soup pot. Add onion and season with salt, pepper and thyme. Cook 3-4 minutes, then pour in frozen peas. Stir a couple of minutes, then pour in vegetable broth. Bring soup to a boil, then cover, reduce and cook 15-20 minutes.
Pour soup into a blender or, using an immersion blender, puree until smooth. Add yogurt and blender another 10 seconds. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
