Pea Soup with Dehydrated Peas Recipe

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Use clean cold water or freshly boiled water to rehydrate the onion and peas in separate bowls.
  2. When they are sufficiently plump, add the olive oil to a heavy pan on medium heat.
  3. Add the onions and cook until softened, around 5 minutes or so.
  4. Add the vegetable stock and tarragon, and bring to a boil.
  5. Add the peas and simmer for 10 minutes or until the peas and onion are cooked through.
  6. Use a blender to mix, in small batches... allow the air to escape from the little hole in the lid so that the heat doesn't cause any explosive problems! Just have your hand over that top little hole to catch any runaway splashes.
  7. Blend until smooth, about 45 - 60 seconds.

*IF you need to add salt, do so, BUT be careful NOT to over-salt as the bouillon has salt in it.

How to Grow Tarragon

Tarragon is a perennial herb that is part of the Asteraceae family and it grows best in full sun and well-drained soil. Tarragon prefers soil that is high in organic matter.

Tarragon plants should be spaced 12 to 18 inches apart.

When is Tarragon Ready to Harvest?

Tarragon is typically harvested in the summer or early fall and is ready to harvest when the leaves are dry and the flavor is at its peak.

To harvest, cut the stems of the tarragon plants just above the ground.

What are the Different Types of Tarragon?

There are two different types of tarragon that you can grow: French tarragon and Russian tarragon.

  • French tarragon has a stronger flavor than Russian tarragon.
