Fresh Lemon & Spring Pea Soup Shooters
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 shallots, , finely chopped
- 1½ pounds spring peas, , shelled
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 6 bacon strips
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 3 tablespoons herbed olive oil
- 2 radishes, , sliced into thin rounds
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add peas and cook another 5 minutes. Add broth and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer until peas are just tender (not mushy), about 15 minutes.
- While peas are simmering, cook bacon on a skillet until crisp. Once crisp, drain on paper towels and cut each strip in half widthwise and set aside.
- Puree the peas and broth mixture until smooth, using either a handheld immersion blender or standing blender. (Use caution pureeing hot liquids.) Once mixture is smooth, return the soup to the pot over low heat.
- Stir in the yogurt and lemon juice and heat through. Add salt and pepper (add more to taste if necessary).
- Serve warm or chilled in shot glasses. Sprinkle with smoked paprika. Top each with a swirl of herbed olive oil. Cut small sliver in radish slices and place one on side of each glass along with a halved slice of bacon for garnish.
