Packed full of flavor, this scrumptious soup recipe warms the belly and the soul! Pea soup is high in protein and fiber, hearty and amazingly good for you. It’s stick-to-your-ribs, warm-you-up-in-cold-weather good.
Topping it with pieces of Grilled Crostini Toasts gives you the texture and crunch you’ll want to contrast with the soup.
Ingredients:
· 1 package John Wm. Macy’s Grilled Crostini Toasts
· 1 tablespoon butter
· 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
· 1 medium onion, chopped
· 1 1 stalk celery, chopped
· 2 cloves garlic, chopped
· 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
· 6 cups peas, fresh or frozen

· ½ cup 1/2 cup half-and-half (optional)
· ½ teaspoon salt
· 1 Freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Heat butter and oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat until the butter melts. Add onion and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and parsley; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds.
