The edamame in this light and fresh-tasting pea soup gives it a dose of protein.
Ingredients
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 cups sodium-free chicken broth
2 cups fresh or frozen shelled edamame
3 cups fresh or frozen green peas
1/4 cup chopped mint, divided
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup crumbled feta
Instructions
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 2 min or until softened.
Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add edamame and continue to boil for 2 min, then add peas and boil for 1 min longer or until peas and edamame are tender and bright green. Let soup cool slightly, then transfer to a blender (or use an immersion blender) to purée until smooth. Return soup to pot over low heat and season with salt. Serve soup sprinkled with feta and extra fresh mint.
