I absolutely LOOOOOOVE this soup!! I first made it about a month ago, and since then have made it like 6x! lol! Thank you soo much for sharing this recipe!! :) It will be a recipe in my weekly diet I think! lol! :) I have done a few things differently..like, I add a fresh garlic clove to the butter, and use regular onions in place of shallots, as well, I have used sour cream in place of cream, and once even plain jogurt! It gave it a little different kick, but was still awesome! :) :)

Made this for sunday dinner to go with roast chicken, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all even my brother in law who does not like peas. I used a leek as I wanted a mild onion taste. I didn't strain it as didn't have time, Next time I make I will make sure that I do. The next time I want to add some carrots and potatoes to it as well to see how that turns out

This was delicious! I used 4 cups of frozen peas and chicken stock instead of water. I let the liquid boil off almost to the point that there was none left, then I processed it. Came out thick and velvety!

Wonderful flavor for something so simple! Like other reviewers I used frozen peas, low sodium chicken broth and topped with a bit of fat free sour cream. Cannot wait to make again and serve with a grilled cheese sandwich!

Excellent! I used frozen petite peas and followed the recipe as written. I think chicken broth would be nice for this, but straight up salt and pepper really highlight the sweet pea flavor. I whipped my cream slightly and used it as a garnish with a few baby peas. Cute. Thanks for the recipe!

This was good, but I don't know that I'll fix it again. Like others, I used frozen peas. The kids gave it a 4, though.

OMG! I'm shocked at how good this was. So much more flavorful and fresh pea tasting than using dried peas. I used chicken broth and a half bag of frozen peas and a half bag of frozen peas and carrots 'cause that's what I had on hand. I also used a yellow onion instead of shallots and I sauteed them in about a teaspoon of bacon drippings. Didn't want to drag out the food processor, so I used my stick blender. It worked like a charm. I will NEVER make pea soup any other way than this! Absolutely outstanding.

This was outstanding. We didn't strain the soup. We used chicken broth instead of water. We picked the peas ourselves, so they couldn't have been any fresher. It was wonderful.

Very tasty, I did not strain and didn't mind the "chew" of the soup. When blending, I needed to add quite a bit of veggie broth to thin it out. I topped it with some low fat plain yogurt which added a nice zing. This came together really quickly. I believe the quality of the peas I used (fresh from farmers market) most influenced the fresh taste.

I make a soup for every celebration dinner, and my family no longer wants any other soup from my vast recipebox! I do substitute vegetable and chicken broth for water and fat free half and half for whipping cream. The most time consuming part of this soup is the straining -- I do find my Foley Food Mill makes the job easier and well worth the hassle for this velvety soup.

This was so easy and really tasty. It was great as is and then I made some adjustments and liked it even better. I used low sodium chicken broth in place of water, added two cloves of garlic and as onion in place of the shallot that I didn't have. I also added a handful of spinach. While this was boiling I sliced two carrots into circles and boiled them for a few minutes in the microwave until they softened. I added half of the boiled carrots to the peas when they were finished boiling and then I used my immersion mixer to blend it all up well. I did not strain it (I like my pea soup thicker). Finally, after pouring the soup into a bowl, I added the rest of the boiled carrot circles and a dollop of sour cream. This was so fast, easy and tasty that I will make it often.

I made this with frozen peas (16 ounces is a little more than three cups)and red onion instead of shallots. I'm making it for a friend as a surprise when she returns from her honeymoon. Peas are her favorite vegetable. I don't even like peas myself and I thought this soup was tasty!

this was great! I changed a few things about it though: used a regular onion, chopped up and cooked with 1 garlic clove (mashed). I also used vegetable stock instead of the water and left a few peas "unmashed" to give it a homey feeling. I don't think it's enough for 4 servings though, more like 2.
