Meat Lite: Pea Soup For One Recipe

  1. In a small heavy pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and a heavy pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally until onions are soft, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add 1 cup of the peas, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup. Stir to coat the peas with the butter. Add the wine, and continue cooking until almost completely evaporated, about a minute. Add the chicken stock, increase heat to medium-high, and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until the peas are tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Transfer soup to a blender and process until smooth. Return to the pot over medium heat and add the ham and the remaining 1/2 cup fresh peas. Cook until the whole peas and ham are warmed through, about three minutes. Thin with a little water, if desired. Remove the soup from the heat and stir in mint. Pour soup into a serving bowl, sprinkle with Parmesan, and serve with toast.
