Easiest Soup Ever 1,2,3 GO!

Happy Snow Day to all you east coasters! We have a beautiful blanket of snow here in Virginia. And what does that mean for me? SNOW DAY! A few inches of snow mean an unexpected and much welcome day off. I'm excited to have the extra day to plan for my weekend visitor, yay Tara! I will be researching what's going on in the area to entertain my guest for the next few days. Any ideas?? Let me know!

So, what defines a snow day more than a warm and comforting soup for lunch?! Nothing. This will literally be the easiest soup you ever throw together. You can thank me later. It's warm and comforting and I guarantee almost everyone will love it. It is slightly reminiscent of early spring. While I enjoy the view of the crisp white snow, I will dream
of early spring when the crocuses start to pop up from the frozen ground.

Easy Pea Soup
3 boxes of frozen peas
4 scallions, white part only minced
1 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 15 oz. can of low sodium Chicken Broth
2 cups water
Salt and Pepper to taste

In a large pot, melt butter and add scallions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes then add peas, broth, and water. Allow to come to a boil then turn down the heat to simmer for approximately 5 minutes. Let mixture cool slightly. Then with an immersion blender, blend until desired consistency is reached. You may need to add a little water if you prefer a thinner soup. Finish with a little french sea salt and serve with warm cheesy toast. Savor the easiest soup you'll ever make.

Feel free to substitute the chicken broth for vegetable broth to make it vegetarian. A nice addition would be a few sprigs of mint to really kick up the feel of spring. I hope you all stay safe and enjoy the beautiful winter day. After digging my car out of the snow, I will be curling up later with a warm cup of tea and cheering on Team USA. I'm loving the Olympics!
