Make this Easy Pea Soup Recipe with frozen peas right in your blender! This soup is bursting with bright lemon flavor and topped with cool crème fraîche. Hot or cold, this soup makes a great vegetarian lunch or dinner in 15 minutes or less!
I am a big soup fan. I mean, there are just so many variations and flavors to choose from. You could eat a different soup every day of the year and still have not tried them all.
Winter calls for the long simmering warm-you-up soups. Once the temperatures rise we need some easy, breezy, lighter soups. This Easy Pea Soup Recipe is all of those. You can whip up this soup in about 15 minutes, eat it hot or cold and it makes great leftovers!
Earlier this year I was sent this Vitamix to try out and it is now one of my most favorite kitchen appliances. I use it almost every day! Smoothies, hummus, daiquiris and soups . . . this is my new kitchen bestie. In fact, I don’t even feel right about referring to my Vitamix as a blender. I’ve had blenders. The Vitamix is like The King of all blenders! No Joke. I have been enjoying the creamiest hummus, the slushiest daiquiris and the silkiest soups. As far as I’m concerned my Vitamix isn’t a blender . . . it’s a MACHINE!

So this soup. It is a simple blend of frozen peas, lemon and thyme. It is super lemony (just the way I like it). So if you want a little less tangy, go ahead and decrease the lemon. And don’t forget that crème fraîche swirl for the ultimate pea soup experience!
