I'll admit it, I'm a soup aficionado. I crave soup more than any other dish. Of course nothing can beat a real rich broth that has taken hours and hours on end to create with the bones of pork, beef, chicken, fish, etc... but there are times that I just can't wait or I'm just way too under the weather to take the time to create a soup. Thus, I came up with this out of desperation. It's called Abracadabra Pea Soup because it takes less than 15 minutes to create and in a pinch it works fabulously!

The soup is prepared using a blender, food processor, chopper or immersible blender.

Place the two cans of peas in bowl and blend to the desired consistency (be sure to utilize the juice; blend only briefly to keep a chunky texture). During the blending process all of the dry ingredients may be added, or this can be added in the sauce pan.

Once the desired consistency is achieved, transfer the soup into a medium saucepan which has been heating with olive oil over medium heat and stir. While stirring, add chicken broth (or any other broth - in a pinch even water will work).

Bring mixture to a rapid boil and quickly reduce the heat to a low simmer. Let this simmer for at least 5 minutes (at this juncture you can add liquid if the soup is too thick).

That's it! Abracadabra! Pea Soup!

Enjoy!
