Description:
Either dried peas or canned green peas may be used to make cream-
Ingredients:
- 1/2 ltr. milk
- 1 Tb. flour
- 2 Tb. butter
- 1/2 c. pea purée
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. pepper
Preparation:
Make white sauce of the milk, flour, and butter. Put enough freshly cooked or canned peas through a sieve to make 1/2 cupful of purée. Then add the pea purée, the salt, and the pepper to the white sauce. Heat thoroughly and serve.
Notes:
The flavour is quite different from that of green peas. With the use of green peas, a fair amount of both protein and carbohydrate is added to the soup, but more protein is provided when dried peas are used.
