Green pea soup with croutons
Description
Hearty and aromatic soup. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the white part of the scallions and sauté, stirring, until soft, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peas, broth, and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, until peas are tender. In a bowl, mix the cheese with green onions. Make 4 sandwiches using the cheese and scallion mixture. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side, adding the remaining butter as needed. Blend the prepared soup in a blender until smooth. If the soup is too thick, thin it with water. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Cut crackers into strips and serve with the soup. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
