La Mill's Sweet Pea Soup
- 3 cups English peas, shucked
- 6 cups pea tendrils
- 2 12 cups vegetable broth, more as needed
- 1 teaspoon hot paprika, to taste (piment d'espelette)
- 34 cup olive oil
- 12 teaspoon hot sauce, to taste
- sea salt, to taste
- sugar (optional)
- In a large pot, blanch the peas just until tender, being careful not to overcook.
- Immediately strain the peas and place in a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
- Strain and reserve.
- Repeat with the pea tendrils.
- In a large bowl using an immersion blender, or in stages using a regular blender, puree the peas and tendrils with the broth until smooth.
- Strain, then use the blender to blend in the d'espelette powder, olive oil and hot sauce.
- The starch content of the peas may vary, affecting the thickness of the soup; if necessary, adjust the consistency of the soup with additional vegetable broth.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed (vegetable broth varies in saltiness, more or less will be needed depending on your brand).
- If necessary, add sugar to taste for additional sweetness.
- Serve the soup chilled.
