Slime Soup

I love soups and winter is the perfect time to create unique soups. I created this soup and absolutely love it. It is easy to make and extremely tasty!

INGREDIENTS

3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

½ Chopped Large Onion

1 Chopped Shallot

4 Cloves Chopped Garlic

6 Large Basil Leaves

1 Cup Smoke Ham

10 Ounces Cooked Peas

8 Ounces Chicken Stock

½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt

½ Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper

1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika

Heat the olive oil in a heavy large pot over a medium high heat. Add the onion, garlic, shallots and sauté for 8 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the ham, basil leaves, salt, pepper, paprika and cooked peas. I like to use frozen peas. Stir for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 10 minutes. Turn the heat off and let sit for 5 minutes. Transfer the soup to a food processor or blender and puree. Return the soup to the pot and heat on low for 8 minutes. You can make this soup 1 day ahead. Serve warm. Serves 4
