Curried pea soup
One-dish dinners, like farro, arugula, tomatoes, shrimp, and a simple lemon vinaigrette, are easy to prepare, nutritious, and economical ways to feed your family.
"No cooking needed" soups are good too. All you really need is a blender.
There are fancy high-speed blenders that can make the creamiest of soups without the cream but most of us don’t have those professional-type blenders at home. If you can get used to just a little texture, any blender works just fine. I am OK with texture.
Try this pea soup. It is perfect for this season. All you have to do is put everything into the blender and push the button or flip the switch.
