- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
* Butter, unsalted, 2 tbsp (remove) * Split Peas, 340.2 grams (remove) * Onions, raw, 1 cup, chopped (remove) * *Garlic - minced (1 tsp), 3 serving (remove) * Salt, 1 dash (remove) * Swanson Chicken Broth 99% Fat Free, 5 cup (remove) * Curry powder, 1 tbsp (remove)
Place the butter into a large (4 to 6-quart) saucepan over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the onion and a generous pinch of salt and sweat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to sweat for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, making certain not to allow onions or garlic to brown.
Add the peas, chicken broth and curry powder. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook at a simmer until the peas are tender and not holding their shape any longer, approximately 45 to 50 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Using care and a stick blender, puree the soup until the desired consistency. Watch out for hot splatters.

I love this soup. I've been making it for years now. The original recipe calls for 1 TBS of garlic, not teaspoon. I also don't bother blending it. Especially after I had that incident with the blender bottom falling off and spilling hot pea soup over my feet and kitchen. Ouch... - 10/11/09
