Cooking features
Puree soup can be prepared not only from fresh peas, but also from canned and frozen ones. In this case, you just need to take into account some cooking features.
- Frozen pea soup is prepared in the same way as fresh pea soup. There is no need to defrost it beforehand.
- The cooking time for frozen peas is slightly less than for fresh ones. Fresh cooks for 15 minutes, frozen – 10-12 minutes.
- Canned peas are already ready to eat, so you only need to cook them for a short time, that is, no more than 5 minutes.
- When preparing the ingredients, it should be taken into account that the weight of canned green peas in its pure form will be less than the volume of a can, since part of the volume and weight in it is occupied by liquid. The liquid from canned peas is not used in making the soup.
- To prepare green pea puree soup, you will need a blender. If you are using a device intended for making cocktails, the soup must be cooled slightly before placing it in the blender bowl to prevent it from cracking. You can puree the soup with an immersion blender immediately without cooling.
- After grinding with a blender, pieces of pea shell remain in the soup. To obtain a more delicate consistency, after grinding with a blender, the soup is ground through a fine sieve.
- After blending the soup or straining it through a sieve, it must be brought to a boil to ensure sterilization.
- Lemon juice and meadow herbs, such as thyme and mint, add a harmonious taste to green pea puree soup. However, when using lemon juice, the soup should not be topped with cream.
From green peas - fresh, frozen or canned - you can make pureed soups that differ greatly in taste. To do this, you just need to find a suitable recipe.

We will need:
- 400 grams of frozen green peas;

Cooking step by step:
- The step-by-step recipe for this first dish includes green peas (I used frozen), water (vegetable broth works great), onions, refined vegetable oil, salt, dried (you can use a little chopped fresh) garlic, a few sprigs of fresh dill, lemon juice and a pinch of ground black pepper (optional).
- Pour water into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Place green peas (directly frozen or fresh, if you have one) in boiling water and cook for five minutes over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, peel and chop the onion not very finely. Fry it in hot oil until golden brown - this will take no more than 5 minutes.
- Add the fried onions and butter to the peas and let them cool for a couple of minutes, as we will be blending everything in the blender (so that the plastic bowl does not crack from the high temperature). If you puree the soup with an immersion blender, there is no need to cool it first.
- But my immersion blender broke, so I use a stand blender (which I usually use to make shakes and smoothies). Pour the slightly cooled (I think about 75-80 degrees) contents of the saucepan into a blender. Add washed dill (directly with stems). lemon juice, salt and garlic.
- Punch everything until smooth, about 1.5 minutes. Taste it and add a little salt and lemon juice if necessary. Also, if the consistency of the soup is too thick for you, you can add boiled water or vegetable broth.
- Pour everything back into the saucepan and bring to a boil.
