Pea Soup : Warm or Chilled : The Choice Is Yours
A comment from blogging friend Phil on this post here when he said, "I have fancied a nice pea soup for weeks now but the weather has been simply too hot and sunny. I wondered whether a cold pea soup might work but not got around to trying yet" got me thinking about Pea Soup!I have to say I can't remember the last time I had pea soup, but I invariably have some frozen peas (or petit pois) in the freezer so maybe we will be enjoying a bowl of pea soup more often!
I came across these two recipes; the first is for a warm recipe and the second a chilled one. Talking over the recipe suggestions with Eddie he thought the chilled recipe and variety of ingredients sounded good, but what do you think?

Delicately fresh and sweet, this chilled pea soup is a summer stunner. It’s cheap to make too as it uses frozen petit pois.

Olive oil for frying and drizzlingBunch spring onions, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
300g petits pois
750ml good quality vegetable or chicken stock, hot
Large handful fresh basil
60g mixed watercress, rocket and spinach salad leaves
150ml natural yogurt
Method
3. Remove from the heat and, using a stick blender, whizz until smooth. Stir in most of the yogurt, then put in an airtight container and chill for at least 4 hours (see Make Ahead).
4. Once chilled, season to taste and divide among 4 bowls. Top with the remaining yogurt, basil, salad leaves and a drizzle of olive oil to serve.
1. Heat a glug of oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the spring onions and cook for 8 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Stir in the peas, then pour over the hot stock, season with salt and pepper and simmer for 5 minutes.

Make Ahead
Make it at least 4 hours in advance (to allow time to chill), or make the day before and keep covered in the fridge. Leftovers will keep for 2-3 days, covered in the fridge.
