Amidst the hilton head binges and pasta overloads, it's important to sneak in a super healthy recipe here and there. Though I know soup isn't always the first thing you want to bust out in the hot summer months, if your air conditioning gets cranked up quite like mine does - you just may be inkling for a pair of fuzzy socks and a nice bowl of freshly made soup.
Since I am a novice in the soup department, I feel it's important to let all of you in on a little secret I have discovered..... making soup is one of the quickest and easiest meals you can throw together. It came as a shocker to me as well. what with all the blending and what not. But it's true - get yourself one of those 20 dollar hand mixers you can pick up at the grocery store or a department store and you've got yourself an endless possibility of soup recipes. As long as you've got some chicken stock you can pretty much soupify just about anything. For this easy peasy (and yes, under 100 calorie's per serving) soup, you will need....
Ingredients (makes 4 servings)
1 tbsp EVOO
1 large onion (sliced)
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp fresh tarragon leaved (chopped)
1 tsp salt
freshly ground pepper
1 bag of frozen peas
plain nonfat yogurt
In a large pot, heat your EVOO over medium heat. Add your onion and cover to cook (stirring every couple minutes) until soft - about 7 minutes. Add in your chicken broth, tarragon, salt and some freshly ground pepper and bring to a boil. Add in the peas and cook for about 5 minutes. Using a hand mixer, puree the soup until very smooth. Bring to a simmer for another 10 minutes and then lower the heat to keep warm until you are ready to serve. Taste for seasoning.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a swirl of yogurt.
Serve & Enjoy :)
