   Chilled Sugar Snap Pea Soup – Ain't Nuthin' But a "P" Thang, Baby!

   Fri, 10 May 2013

   I’ve never been a big cold soup fan. Where I’m from, cold soup gets sent back, but over the years I’ve grown to appreciate things like gazpacho, vichyssoise, and…that’s about it. Well, thanks to this gorgeous chilled sugar snap pea soup, my repertoire just expanded in a very delicious way. Traditionally (from what I hear), chilled pea soups are made with English peas, but thanks to the very user-friendly sugar snap, not only is there no shelling involved here, but I think they impart an even sweeter flavor. Speaking of sweet flavor, you’re going to want to contrast that by garnishing with some sour cream or crème fraiche . If you can’t get or have that, then use a few drops of lemon juice or rice vinegar to balance the flavors.  As far as the mint goes though, I’d make every effort to obtain some, as I can’t imagine another herb pairing as well. Lastly, the Snoop Dogg reference in the title foreshadows a Snoop Dogg reference made during the garnishing portion of the video. For more information, ask your kids. I hope you give this lovely, spring soup a try soon. Enjoy!   Ingredients for about 6 cups of soup: 1 tbsp olive oil 1 cup sliced leeks 4 cups chicken broth salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste 1 pound sugar snap peas 2 mint leaves crème fraiche or sour cream, and more fresh mint to garnish
