Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium diced yellow onion, 1 medium diced carrot, and 2 diced celery stalks. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are softened and onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.

  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 cup frozen peas, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until peas are heated through and vibrant green. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, tasting and adjusting as needed.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and let soup rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
