Here is a lovely easy homemade soup recipe for you. This is a delicious recipe and full of great flavors.

For this recipe I've used my basic How To Make A Creamy Soup recipe and adapted it to change the flavors and color, resulting in a very delicious soup!

I've used frozen garden peas to keep the bright green color and some of my favorite Smoked German sausage. You can also use kielbasa, smoked ham, or any smoked meat. The flavor combination is delicious!

I love soup! It's so versatile and you can use whatever is in season.

Of course with this garden pea and smoky sausage soup, it's possible to make this any time of the year, especially since peas are readily available frozen, and the quality of frozen peas is very good.

Often, smoked sausage is vacuum-sealed and will keep in your store cupboard for quite a while, so together with the frozen garden peas, you can stock your pantry so you have these ingredients to hand.

So let's get straight to the recipe and see how we make our garden pea and smokey sausage soup. Please enjoy!

Instructions

1. In the large pan, you will use for the soup, saute the onion, leeks/celery and garlic until soft. Please do NOT burn or brown the leeks etc as they will turn bitter. Then add everything except the milk to the pan and cook until potato and vegetables are soft and cooked through.

*** To clean leeks, Cut the top and bottom off, then run a sharp knife lengthways down the whole leek, cutting ¾ deep through the leek. Then run under a tap and wash any soil away, in between the layers.

2. Blanche the peas in some hot water then transfer to cold water, have just enough cold water to cover the surface of the peas.

If you don’t place the peas immediately in cold water, the peas won’t keep their bright green color.

Then add the water and peas to a blender and puree. Return the puree to a bowl. You will use the blender again so don't wash it just yet!

Optional: You can hold a couple of tablespoons of peas back so you can add them later and keep them whole if you wish.

3. When the contents of the soup pan are all cooked through, transfer everything to the blender and puree, then transfer everything back to the soup pan.

Over medium heat, add your sliced sausages, pureed peas, and milk and bring to a gentle simmer.

4. Once brought back to simmer, add 1 tablespoon butter (to give it a nice shine), salt & pepper to season.
Taste the soup first before you add the seasoning! I didn't need to add any extra salt in my soup as the sausage was already salty enough.

Make some delicious Aloha Bread to go with your soup or add a sprinkle of homemade garlic parmesan croutons. Delicious!!
