Recipes FAQ

Can I use canned peas instead of fresh or frozen?

While you can technically use canned peas in this recipe, I would not recommend it. Canned peas have a mushy texture and a less vibrant flavor than fresh or frozen peas.

Can I freeze leftover soup?

Yes, you can freeze leftover soup in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Just be sure to let the soup cool completely before freezing.

Can I use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock?

Yes, you can use vegetable stock if you prefer a vegetarian version of this soup.

Recipe Tips

  • For a smoother soup, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after pureeing it.
  • You can add a splash of cream or half-and-half to the soup for a richer flavor.
  • You can add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots or celery, for added nutrition and flavor.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender to puree the soup. Just be sure to let the soup cool slightly before blending it, and blend it in batches if necessary.
