Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch over medium heat.
  2. Add finely chopped yellow onions and minced garlic; sauté, stirring occasionally, until limp and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add thinly sliced scallions (including tops), chopped lettuce, minced fresh mint, and ground ginger; toss to coat with oil.
  4. Cover and cook for 5 minutes until lettuce wilts.
  5. Pour in water, add dried split green peas and salt; bring the mixture to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes until split peas are tender.
  7. Stir in thawed frozen green peas and continue simmering, covered, for 5 more minutes until all peas are tender.
  8. Transfer soup to a food processor or blender; puree in batches until smooth, about 20 seconds per batch.
  9. Return blended soup to the saucepan; stir in skim milk.
  10. Cover and heat over moderate heat until serving temperature is reached, 3 to 5 minutes.
