Edamame Soup
Edamame "Split Pea" Soup
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) frozen shelled edamame
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ cups onion, diced (about 1 large onion)
- 1 cup carrots, diced (about 2 medium carrots)
- 1 cup celery, diced (about 2 stalks)
- 3-4 cloves garlic confit, mashed
- 1½ cups zucchini, diced (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 1½ cups cauliflower florets, chopped small
- 6 cups water
- 3 Edward & Sons vegetable bouillon cubes
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste (optional, for depth)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Splash of lemon juice or vinegar to finish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add mashed garlic confit and cook for another minute, stirring to incorporate.
- Stir in the smoked paprika and thyme, cooking for 30 seconds.
- Add the frozen edamame, zucchini, cauliflower, water, and bouillon cubes. Stir until the bouillon cubes dissolve. Add bay leaves, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the edamame and all vegetables are very tender.
- Remove bay leaves. If using miso, dissolve it in a small amount of the hot broth before stirring it into the soup.
- Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some texture, or blend about half in a regular blender and return it to the pot. This creates that thick, split pea-like consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar to brighten the flavors.
- Serve hot with crusty bread. You can garnish with croutons, a drizzle of olive oil, or fresh herbs if desired.
