I’m going to go out on a limb and make an assumption that more likely than not, you’ve got a bag of frozen peas in your freezer right now. Not sure? Take a 5 second break from this post and go check your freezer. I’ll be waiting…

 

 

….you had a bag, didn’t you?

Yep. I’m convinced almost everyone has a bag of frozen peas stashed in the depths of their freezer. While some choose to use them as a cold compress after attempting to play a sport they haven’t participated in since their childhood days (no I’m not speaking from personal experience, absolutely not…..), others choose to actually consume them! Today’s post will prove especially beneficial for the latter group šŸ˜‰

In all seriousness though, this Green Pea and Dill Soup could not scream “spring!!!” any more loudly. And while yes, spring is still a week or so away, I don’t think it’s too early to roll out the welcome wagon…especially when it tastes and looks this good! Full of bright colors and even brighter flavor, this soup is light and refreshing, but still has some good substance to it so it doesn’t feel like you’re just drinking hot liquid…

So, if you’re anything like me and have had a bag of frozen peas in your freezer for a near ridiculous amount of time, do yourself (and your freezer) a favor and whip up a batch of the Green Pea and Dill Soup. One less bag of frozen peas in the freezer means more room for ice cream, AND a delicious meal on the table! Win, win! 

What you need:

  • bag of frozen peas
  • yellow onion
  • vegetable broth 
  • nutritional yeast – a great vegetarian source of B vitamins with a cheesy flavor, and roughly 8 grams of protein in 1/4 cup!
  • fresh dill
  • large saucepan
  • high-speed blender, food processor or Vitamix
  • 30 minutes
  • a spring-inspired playlist to jam to in the kitchen
  • tastebuds ready to eat!

I’ve been having this alongside a chicken salad collard wrap and raw carrot sticks for an easy, satisfying and packable lunch for work! I just pack the soup in a microwave-safe glass container to heat at lunchtime. You could technically consume it cold, as well. Additionally, it’s an easy enough recipe to throw together for a weeknight meal as well. That’s what I’m talking about. Let me know if you try it out!
