Title: Southwestern Pea Soup
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

2 pk (10-ounce) frozen peas,
-deftosted in a sieve under
-warm running water
2 c Plain yogurt (I use nonfat &
-can't tell the difference
-from whole or lowfat)
1/4 c (or less, I've done it with
-none) olive oil
1/2 c Fresh lime or lemon juice
4 Cloves garlic smashed &
-peeled
1 tb Chilli powder (or more, I
-know how you are, though
-this isn't really intended
-to be a spicy soup)
2 c Ice water
1 tb Salt
Ground cumin, I added,
-though it isn't in the
-original recipe

--------------------------GARNISH (MUY IMPORTANTE--------------------------
1/2 A cup of the peas from
-above, about
1/2 c Each finely chopped tomato &
-red bell pepper
1 Minced jalapeno (OK, it's
-supposed to be a little
-hot) (up to 2)
1 bn Cilantro chopped up
Red onion, I also add this
-to this mess

Put peas in food processor and mush thoroughly. Add everything else down to
'Garnish' except for the water and process till fairly smooth. Dump in
serving bowl, add water, stir. The original recipe called for putting out
all the garnishes in seperate little bowls for diners to pick a choose
from. Frankly, I toss all of them into one bowl and let people pick out the
ones they don't like. Had this for dinner tonight. Yum good and it's sorta
key lime colored.
