    No Paparazzi Peas! Pea Soup Recipe.


    Peas are incredibly healthy.

    One cup of peas contains 9 grams of protein, 9 grams of fiber, 26% RDA of Vitamin A, 38% RDA Vitamin C, 14% RDA iron and zero fat!

    What a super superfood!

    So here is a warm and hearty way to make your peace with peas: pea soup!

    Click on for my recipe for amazing No Paparazzi Peas! 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 RECIPE
    1 pound bag frozen whole peas, organic is best
    1 vidalia sweet white onion
    1 shallot
    2 bay leaves
    1 tsp. cayenne
    1-2 tsp. sea salt
    2 tsp. fresh ground back pepper
    ⅓ cup olive oil
    1 cup diced carrots
    4 large shiitake mushrooms
    3 tablespoon Veganaise
    1 ½ cups vegetable broth

    To 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.
