And peas. Indomitable peas. We have a couple of good, local pea people. The peas are in the market NOW, so we got some. What's not to yadda, yadda, yadda.
I usually wait until later in the season to pulverize peas. When they're new, it's irresistible to eat them globular, the way god intended. But I was ready for a delicate green soup.
Look, you can cook these any way you want. I used chicken stock, no MINT, flavorings of fenugreek (you have to try this) and cumin. Some fine dice of spring onion. E basta. Oh, wait. A glug of cream. Now, e basta.
My twist this time was not to whirl the soup in an Osterizer. I just sort of crippled the peas with an immersion blender, for an innocent, rustic texture.
This would be an insanely good popsicle, if you didn't have a sweet tooth.
It was pretty good hot and molten, too.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, BP. *******
Not loving split pea soup but FRESH pea soup sounds marvy! I may have heard of this before but it seems new. When the student is ready, the teacher appears.
A popsicle!? Delicious idea.
Zoomie: Good soup. I hope you'll try.
EB: I can hardly tell you how much I appreciate your remark.
You know that princess & the pea story? It's ME! :)
We had the most amazing pea soup in a tiny shot glass recently, though I think it was a 'pea foam' - we were revolting about getting the last skerrik!
Ms. Mouse - skerrick! I'm stealing that word, for sure.
Mouse: I have two TWO memory foam pads on top of my mattress. Almost enough. (Any more and the dog couldn't jump up.)
Zoomie: I had to go look it up. Did you? Our new word.
Oh! I like the Popsicle idea.
Greg: Now I'm doing that for sure. Cranky just came home from the market with a sack of peas.
Are you ready?
Visualize Whirled Peas!
I am growing some English shelling peas for the seed bank in Zoomies bullet torn Richmond. I have to have have will power to let them go to seed because I love peas.
Chilebrown: So you're saying we can grow peas?
Power to the peas!
