Ingredient & Substitutions

  • Garden Peas: Use fresh or frozen peas for the best flavor. Avoid canned peas, as they lack the same vibrant color and sweetness.
  • Vegetable Stock: A good-quality vegetable stock will enhance the flavor of the soup. If vegetable stock is unavailable, you can also use chicken stock.
  • Heavy Cream: Creates a smooth, velvety texture. Use a cream with 35%–40% fat for the best consistency. A lower-fat alternative, such as half-and-half, can be used, but the soup will be less rich.
  • White Truffle Oil: Adds a luxurious earthy aroma. Use a high-quality truffle oil and start with 1 teaspoon, and then adjust to taste, as too much truffle oil can easily overpower the soup.
  • Fresh Thyme: Provides a subtle herbal note that enhances the overall depth of the soup. If fresh thyme isn’t available, you can omit it from the recipe.

Chef Tips

Strain for an Ultra-Velvety Finish: For an extra refined texture, pass the blended soup through a fine sieve to remove any remaining fibers. This step is optional but makes a noticeable difference in smoothness, especially if you aren’t using an ultra high-power blender.

Adjust the Thickness: If the soup is too thick, add a splash of warm vegetable stock to loosen it. If too thin, let it simmer briefly to reduce.

How to Store & Reheat Leftovers

Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The soup may thicken as it sits, so adjust the consistency when reheating.

Freezing: This soup can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. When ready to use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheating: Warm gently over medium-low heat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally. If the soup has thickened, add a little vegetable stock or cream to loosen it.
