Simple Healthy Green Pea Soup

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
• 2 (16 ounce) packages frozen peas
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill, or to taste
• 1 (900 ml) carton chicken broth, or as needed
• 1/3 cup milk (optional)
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot butter until golden and translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir garlic into onions and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir peas and dill into onion mixture and pour in enough chicken broth to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until hot, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir milk into soup.

Puree soup with an immersion blender or pour pea soup into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
