Snow Peas Soup

This is one of my favorite summer soups to make! I get very happy when I see fresh snow peas at Whole Foods. The recipe is simple and you can make vegetarian version as well. This time I used Pacific Organic Chicken Broth, but you can use vegetable broth, or just water.

Ingredients

• 1 onion
• 1/2 lb snow peas (remove the ends by hand)
• 1 large ripped tomatoes chopped (or 2 cups of small once)
• 2 large potatoes cubed
• Cilantro chopped
• Parsley chopped
• 2-3 small garlic smashed
• Salt and pepper

Preparation

Sautée onion in a large pot using olive oil. Add tomatoes and potatoes for 2 minutes, then add snow peas. Next, poor desired broth or water in the pot so it almost covers all the ingredients. This is more of a thick soup than liquidy. Let the mixture boil on a medium heat and the simmer it till the potatoes and snow peas are done. Add chopped parsley, cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper at the end. Enjoy!

We were looking to buy a small fish to grill for the weekend and when we got to Market Street we didn't see any. But, after talking with the associate in the fish department, she happened to have some in the freezer that someone ordered the large quantity the same week. We got very lucky! We just seasoned the fish with salt and olive oil and cooked it over the coals with asparagus and potatoes. We made wild rice with fresh cilantro on a side. And for desert, we bought the sponge cake from Market Street and made pineapple and strawberry cake.
