Fresh Pea Soup St. Germain

small knob of butter (about a tablespoon and I used fake butter)
2-3 Scallions Minced
3 Cups shelled Peas (I used Frozen)
2 3/4 Cups Water
3 Tablespoons Whip Cream
salt, pepper and garlic to taste

In a heavy bottom saucepan or medium pot melt butter and add scallions.  Cook until scallions look limper.  Add peas and water.  Cover and simmer for between 12-25 minutes until the peas are soft.  Make sure to stir the peas occasionally so that they don't burn.  When the peas are tender and ladle them into a word processor or blender with a little of the cooking liquid.  Once cool Blend.  DO NOT BLEND IF HOT!!  Once blended put in rinsed saucepan or pot and add whip cream.  Heat up until a soft simmer and voila...serve and enjoy.





I know, I know, so far every soup I have made has been green.  Don't worry I have a white and orange soup coming up and of course another green one.  More soup next month!

I have decided I really enjoy cooking.  I have all these cookbooks that I never look at and it really does relieve stress.  It is almost as good as yoga.
