Pea Soup! Here’s my take on vegan pea soup. I love fresh pea soup. But that is tricky to find in the winter. I also love dried split pea soup. But for nutrient-sake, I love using frozen whole peas. Frozen veggies retain a very high amount of nutrients and taste. Buy a higher end brand of organic peas at Whole Foods for your best bet on taste. Here it is:NO PAPARAZZI PEAS! PEA SOUP RECIPE1 pound bag frozen whole peas, organic is best1 vidalia sweet white onion1 shallot2 bay leaves1 tsp. cayenne1-2 tsp. sea salt 2 tsp. fresh ground back pepper1/3 cup olive oil1 cup diced carrots4 large shiitake mushrooms3 Tbsp Veganaise1 1/2 cups vegetable brothTo Make:Saute olive oil with sliced mushrooms, diced onions, chopped shallots and half of carrots. (About 2-3 minutes, stir constantly.)In a sauce pan, add peas, broth, salt, pepper, cayenne, bay leaves and veganaise. Bring to a boil. Add sauteed ingredients.Simmer for ten minutes, covered.Serve in cozy hot bowls. (Remove bay leaves.)Garnish with fresh parsley, fresh ground black pepper and a dollop of veganaise.Options:Protein-rich: To add even more protein to this soup, add cubed boca spicy chik’n burgers to top of soup when served.Creamier: To make creamier soup: Substitute half of broth with soy milk. Add a few more scoops of veganaise.Spicier: Add more cayenne.
