Manly Soup

[BuffJim]

I had Chicken and wild rice. Maybe if there was Pumice and Lye in the ingredients it would have been manly.

You will and you will like it.

Good to see that you got my recommendation for getting lye in there.

We had a family gathering Sat and I was asked to bring spit pea soup as one of my food items.  I thought it would be too hot for soup but it all got eaten!

Couldn’t you serve split pea cold? Gazpacho is good cold. Just a thought.

Good split pea soup is a solid when cold.  Split pea pudding

It really wasn’t an issue as it all got eaten warm.

Not if it was prepared to be served cold. There are ways to do this. A little mint, some shelled pistachios, a bit of habanero to tell you that this isn’t your grandmother’s split pea soup. I may go to the laboratory and try things.

It might have to be on the thinner side but it sounds like a worthy experiment.  I make it a lot and it always thickens when chilled.  

Let us know how it turns out!

I do have a summer pea soup recipe that is served chilled. 

 Summer Pea Soup

1 large shallot, minced (about 3 Tbsp)

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cups low sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth (for veggie I like better)

2 sprigs of mint, about 6 inches in total stem length

1 pound of frozen petite peas ( I usually use two 12 ounce bags)

1/4 cup heavy cream

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Crème fraîche for garnish (can substitute sour cream diluted with cream)

Strips of fresh mint for garnish

Method
1. Cook the shallots in butter:
In a medium saucepan (2 1/2 to 3 quart) melt the butter on medium heat. Add shallots
and cook until softened, but not browned, a couple minutes.
2. Add broth and mint, then peas:
Add the broth and mint sprigs to the shallots, increase the heat and bring to a boil. Add the frozen peas and salt and pepper to taste. Return to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the peas are just tender, 3-5 minutes.
3. Discard the mint and purée the soup: in a blender until completely smooth.
1 large shallot, minced (about 3 Tbsp)
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups low sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth (for vegetarian option) 2 sprigs of mint, about 6 inches in total stem length
1 pound of frozen petite peas (available at Trader Joe's)
1/4 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Crème fraîche for garnish (can substitute sour cream diluted with cream) Strips of fresh mint for garnish
 Ingredients
  
 4. Blend in the cream:
Taste and correct seasoning.
Reheat to serve warm, or chill to serve cold. Serve garnished with crème fraîche and mint strips.
