Chilled Pea Soup

Has summer hit where you live? We officially call it HOT here in the valley when the temperature is 90 degrees and above. Today has been a beautiful day 92 degrees and it's HOT! It will be even warmer tomorrow - perfect timing for Chilled Green Pea Soup!

I'm excited to share this recipe with you because it is perfect for spring & summer! If you're hosting a baby shower or lovely brunch - you can WOW your friends and family. I made this for my Mom on Mother's Day last year. It is bright, flavorful and easy to make!

Chilled Pea Soup is a burst of springtime flavor!

Or if it's too hot to cook (like it will be here....)? This soup is a light delicious lunch! Add a sandwich - you've got a meal that doesn't heat up the house and is incredibly fabulous

Before I share how easy this soup is to make, I want you to pause for a moment. Think spring with mountains of wildflowers and bright blue skies because this soup has the brightest flavor!

Super healthy with fresh vegetables given a quick sauté and paired with amazing herbs and spices. If this Chilled Green Pea Soup doesn't scream spring, then I don't know what does!

Ok, are you ready? Let's get started. You'll need to shell two pounds of fresh peas... kidding! You know me! That would be waaayyy too much work! 😀

So let's try this again. We are going to use frozen peas but shhh.... no one needs to know!

Believe it or not, this beautiful soup only takes 15 minutes to make and it's served chilled, though you could just as easily warm it up.

Delicious flavor that you wouldn't dream comes from a chilled soup!

What is cold soup?

Cold soup is the perfect summertime meal! Refreshing and light it's a great meal on a hot summer's day.

What can I serve with soups?

A light green salad or array of cheese and crackers would be a wonderful accompaniment to this soup.

Grocery list for Pea Soup

  • onion
  • frozen peas

  • turmeric
  • salt
  • pepper

  • optional garnishes - fresh dill, croutons, creme fraische

Steps to make Pea Soup

  1. Chop an onion and sauté it with minced thyme for about five minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute or so.
  3. Next add this mixture to the blender. Add one 10 oz. package of frozen peas and two cups of stock (I used chicken, but you can just as easily use vegetable stock and it would be vegan).

    Do I cook the peas in the stock first? Warm the stock with the peas and then add that to the blender? Thanks! This sounds like it will be a summer staple!

      Hi Lynn - I'm so glad you're making this recipe - it is perfect for summer! Actually there's no need to warm the stock or peas before blending as this soup is served cold. Having said that, I do have a friend that heats it and serves it warm because that's her preference! Enjoy!

    Turmeric is listed in the ingredients but thyme in the directions. Use both?

    Such a beautiful colour and great flavours too, I love peas and we are in the middle of pea harvest right now so afternoons are spent podding peas, of course only half ever make it to the freezer as the rest end up in my belly.
