Chilled Pea Velouté with Goat Cheese & Edible Flowers

Chilled Pea Velouté with Goat Cheese & Edible Flowers | Bijouxs Little Jewels

The verdant green of Spring is all here in this Little Jewel from the Kitchen-Chilled Pea Velouté with Goat Cheese & Edible Flowers No. 639 in the Membership Collection.

ENGLISH GREEN PEAS

I can’t think of any vegetable that announces Spring like fresh green peas. This is a simple soup, just place frozen peas in the blender with boiling water and voilà, the chilled soup is ready.

ENGLISH GREEN PEAS I can't think of any vegetable that announces Spring like fresh green peas.

VELOUTE´ These French soups are typically created with stock and a roux, but this Little Jewel comes together smooth and creamy with just a flick of the blender. The frozen peas are whizzed with boiling water in the blender, then set aside to fully chill in the refrigerator. Perfect. GOAT CHEESE & EDIBLE FLOWERS The crowning jewels to this soup are slices of herbed Goat cheese and a sprinkling of edible flowers. The goat cheese logs are fairly common, if not just roll a plain log in some of your favorite dried herbs. I usually try to grow edible flowers in pots, but the gloomy beach weather has postponed Spring planting. I found these edible flowers at, where else, Trader Joes.

GOAT CHEESE & EDIBLE FLOWERS

The crowning jewels to this soup are slices of herbed Goat cheese and a sprinkling of red edible flowers. The goat cheese logs are fairly common, if not just roll a plain log in some of your favorite dried herbs. I usually try to grow edible flowers in pots, but the gloomy beach weather has postponed Spring planting. I found these edible flowers at, where else, Trader Joes.

Savor this simple soup.
