Description
Amazing people the French... As they can out of minimal ingredients to create a culinary miracle! A few months ago I got my hands on the book "French cuisine" and all this time I was patiently waiting to be able to cook this amazing soup. The fact that its cooking requires FRESH green beans!!! And now, finally, peas are in the country ready... Cheers, you can cook. At first glance, the recipe seems very simple, even banal, but the result is, however, very pleased!!! This soup has not the same taste as the soup made from frozen or dry peas. Try to cook, and you will see for yourself.

Cooking
For 3 hours we have a granddaughter husked out green peas. Husked out, then, for the most part, I granddaughter provided moral support and gladly ate the most tender, most sweet peas.
And here it is: a gentle, milky stage, sweet - a whole bowl! So, let's start!
To prepare the broth. I took karkosik chicken, added onion. a carrot, piece of celery, 2 stalks of celery... well, everything, as usual... cook for about an hour.
For 5 minutes until tender add a pinch of black pepper and Bay leaf.
Ready strain the broth. Here such it turns out the broth: rich, Golden, flavorful!!! Amazing!!!
To prepare other products.
In a saucepan boil water, a little salt, add the peas and cook after boiling for 3 minutes.
Drain in a colander. To defer about half a Cup. He'll need us later.
I love leeks. I use the tender white part and light green. Of course, you can use onion, but leek is better because it has a delicate, slightly spicy taste and gives dishes a distinctive flavor. So, the leeks, wash very carefully, it grows in the ground and between his scales can hide in the sand. Slice the leek in rings and to be sure, it is possible to wash it under running water, put in a colander. Give water to drain.
Mmmmmm the bacon... Ah, what a flavor! The fragrance of this he will share with our soup! Is just super!!! The bacon is very finely chopped. It is better to use a fairly lean bacon, why we excess fat.
In a pan heat the oil and fry the leeks and bacon until soft.
Add to the pan peas, pour in about a Cup of broth, bring to a boil and cook on low heat for 12 minutes.
Whisk the soup in a blender until smooth puree. Do not worry if you do not have a blender, you can just wipe the vegetables through a sieve. Here and ready at the heart of our amazing soup. Oh, how deliciously it smells! Bacon and leek merged in sweet ecstasy, combining their flavors, and young fresh peas here is not the third wheel.
Put the resulting puree in a separate pot
pour rest of the soup, add the sugar, allspice and salt to taste. Here I allowed myself to recede a little from the recipe: instead of allspice put svezhemoloty a mixture of peppers and added a little ground coriander. Well, what I will do, I love coriander and cilantro. And any bean from the presence of coriander only benefit.
Now it is necessary to warm the soup over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, then add the delayed peas and serve.
