Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large onion, sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (10-oz) bag frozen peas
4 teaspoons plain nonfat yogurt, optional

Directions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over moderately-low heat. Add the onion, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, tarragon, salt and a few turns of freshly ground black pepper and bring to a boil. Add the peas and cook just until defrosted.

In a blender, puree the soup in 2 batches until very smooth. If serving hot, return the soup to the pot and bring just to a simmer. If serving cold, transfer to the refrigerator to chill. Ladle into bowls. Stir the yogurt so that it is smooth and top each serving with a swirl of yogurt.

Good for the whole family!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I initally made this soup because I have started to cook things that my 8 month old baby can eat too, as he has mostly given... up jarred/pureed baby foods. I figured I could mix this soup with some cereal and if he didn't like it at least I didn't waste an entire jar of food and my family could still eat the rest. This is a VERY yummy recipe! It definately takes frozen green peas to a new level. I LOVE it! My 3 year old daughter-who argues with eating anything lately-ate this without a fight. It was very easy to make as well, taking less than 5 minutes of actual work and about 15 minutes of cook time. I will be making lots of this in the future. Thanks Ellie!Read more

Loved It!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband is very particular about having some type of meat with his dinners, so I cooked some Canadian bacon and chopped it... up as the garnish for this soup rather than using yogurt (I added significantly more of the Canadian bacon to his soup than to mine). It was really tasty and more remniscent of the type of split pea and ham soup that my mom used to make while still being very healthy.Read more

Flavorful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband doesn't like green peas so I wasn't sure if he would eat this soup or not. He absolutely love it. I like peas so... I knew I would, but didn't realize how much. I've made it again recently and I think it taste better and better every time. Jerrie Sanders Rochester, NHRead more

Very easy!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love split pea soup, and rather than cooking something all day long in a slow-cooker, I literally made this for tomorrow's... lunch while I made tonight's dinner. I used canned sweet peas rather than frozen since I had these on hand in the pantry, and I did omit the tarragon since I didn't have that either. I only used 1 can of chicken broth (2 cups) and a can of peas (15 oz), so I'm sure mine came out thicker than this would. Still delicious, fresh, and a beacon of light with all of these Thanksgiving leftovers around : )Read more
