Easy, easy, easy. Delicious, delicious, delicious. A constantly requested favorite at my house, this quick and simple soup really takes just about seven minutes to prepare. Serve with a garnish of fat free croutons, a dollop of fat free sour cream, or sourdough bread on the side.

      Place one can of peas, one can of water and the remaining ingredients into a blender. Blend at high until pureed. Pour into a 3 quart sauce pan. Puree remaining can of peas. (Most blenders are not large enough to puree all ingredients in one batch, if you own a VitaMix Blender or a food processor you can mix the whole recipe in one container.) Combine into sauce pan with first batch. Heat and serve. Serves 4.

    Note 1: If soup is held in pot to keep warm or refrigerated it may become thickened. If thinning is desired add a touch of water or broth to desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker soup, add a bit less water that one can.

    Note 2: If sodium intake is a concern, reduce sodium count by replacing regular canned peas with “no salt added” or reduced salt canned peas. This will reduce the sodium count by almost 600mg per serving.
