Try your hand at making this awesome pea soup with dehydrated peas. Gather all the ingredients and add to one pan. Don't know about you, but I love "one pot" dishes. Easy to make, and easy to clean up after! Mind you, with a slice of bread and butter to clean out the bowl, clean-up is a breeze! :-)
This pea soup with dehydrated peas really does live up to its "velvety" name! Very smooth with almost a creamy texture/consistency.
The soup does contain the base ingredients of onions and olive oil, but what makes this soup special is the dried Tarragon!
*IF you need to add salt, do so, BUT be careful NOT to over-salt as the bouillon has salt in it.

Tarragon is a perennial herb that is part of the Asteraceae family. Tarragon grows best in full sun and well-drained soil. Tarragon prefers soil that is high in organic matter. Tarragon plants should be spaced 12 to 18 inches apart. Tarragon is typically harvested in the summer or early fall.
Tarragon is ready to harvest when the leaves are dry and the flavor is at its peak. To harvest, cut the stems of the tarragon plants just above the ground.
There are two different types of tarragon that you can grow: French tarragon and Russian tarragon. French tarragon has a stronger flavor than Russian tarragon. Russian tarragon is a more vigorous grower than French tarragon.
