Ingredients

4 cups frozen peas
1 scallion
3 cups boiling water, from the kettle
Chicken or vegetable stock concentrate or a stock cube
1 ball mozzarella, diced (approximately 10 ounces)

Directions

Cook the frozen peas and scallion in the boiling water with the stock concentrate, to taste, or stock cube until tender and cooked through. Drain and discard the scallion, and put the peas into a blender.*

Add the diced mozzarella to the peas in the blender. Liquidize the soup until smooth.

*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

I loved this quick and delicious soup. Using a good quality mozzarella really added to the flavor of the peas. This is one... I will definitely make again!Read more

Perfect for after stomach surgery!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I cannot eat very much after stomach surgery and am limited on what I can eat. I was so happy that this is an easy receipe... to make as I am quite easily fatigued. I can tell you that there is only so much soup that one can take that comes out of a can and then all requires to be strained. this soup was perfect. I did reduce the moz. a bit and then added some parm for flavor. I am one that always salts/peppers my food to taste so the seasoning didnt matter. I dont use scallions but used 1/4 onion that I blended into the mix and then reserved the liquid to dilute to proper consistancy for my medical condition/ approval from MD. I gave a copy to my group to help with the list of approved foods during this time of recovery -- limited good food that is approved.Read more

Easy to make with a few additions
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So I made this for dinner last night and it was soooo good. I read the comments on this review board before I started cooking... and made a few resulting modifications. First of all I reserved about 1/3 of my cooking liquid because the soup was just too thick. So I added it until it was just the consistancy I was looking for. Also I added a heavy pinch of crushed red peper flakes for a kick (yum!). I added a heavy pinch of salt and a heavy pinch of pepper. Lastly instead of the called for ammount of mozzerella, I left some mozzerella out and added a parmesean cheese for more flavor (like 1/2 cup). I didnt get the stringy consistancy from the show (which I was looking forward to:( so if I had to do it again, I would add ALL the mozzerella cheese and maybe 1/4 cup ( of good) grated or shredded parmesean. But then again I love cheese. Enjoy!Read more
