This is a creamy, dreamy, fast and easy pea soup. It's made with frozen peas. They're elevated to something quite fresh and lovely. White wine, basil and fennel give it a complex flavor. If you don't love fennel, you can omit it with good results. But, it quietly complements the flavor of the peas and basil. <br /> <br />he soup is bright green, a real mood booster. The cooking is unfussy. The results are wonderful. The entire process takes under thirty minutes. The soup also reheats well. Some whole peas are sprinkled in at the end of cooking for a contrast in texture. Serve it with a squeeze of fresh lime, some chives and/or basil and a dollop of creme fraiche. Croutons, crumbled bacon, sauteed crab, shrimp or scallops are also welcome. <br /> <br />Rapunzel No Salt Vegetable Bouillon is what I use in this soup. It has a pure, clean taste that I love. If you can't find it then substitute your favorite bouillon or omit the bouillon and just use water or use the same amount of your favorite vegetable broth or stock. <br /> <br />
