Easy Pea Soup

Easy Pea Soup

           

1 tablespoon garlic-infused oil
2 scallions, finely sliced
4 cups (two 10-ounce packages) frozen peas
Chicken or vegetable stock concentrate (powder, paste or cube)
2 to 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.

Place a saucepan over medium-low heat, and add oil and scallions. Stir until heated, then add frozen peas. Stir well with a wooden spoon. Add 3 cups boiling water and stock concentrate to taste. Cover, and cook at a lively simmer until peas are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool until no longer steaming. Transfer soup to a blender. Add cheese, and purée until mixture is very smooth. Serve immediately or, if desired, reheat to taste.
