This soup gets its deep flavor from simple ingredients, but the star twist is dried tarragon, giving it a subtle, aromatic kick.

Pea Soup with Dehydrated Peas Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1/4 cup dehydrated onion
• 1 cup of dehydrated peas
  
• 3/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
  
• 3 cups of vegetable stock
  
• salt* and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Use clean cold water or freshly boiled water to rehydrate the onion and peas in separate bowls.
2. When they are sufficiently plump, add the olive oil to a heavy pan on medium heat.
3. Add the onions and cook until softened, around 5 minutes or so.
4. Add the vegetable stock and tarragon, and bring to a boil.
5. Add the peas and simmer for 10 minutes or until the peas and onion are cooked through.
6. Use a blender to mix, in small batches... allow the air to escape from the little hole in the lid so that the heat doesn't cause any explosive problems! Just have your hand over that top little hole to catch any runaway splashes.
7. Blend until smooth, about 45 - 60 seconds.

*IF you need to add salt, do so, BUT be careful NOT to over-salt as the bouillon has salt in it.

Why Tarragon is the Secret Ingredient in Pea Soup

Growing Tarragon at Home: Simple Tips

Tarragon is a perennial herb that is part of the Asteraceae family and it 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.

Harvesting Tarragon: The Right Time for Maximum Flavor

Tarragon is typically harvested in the summer or early fall and 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.

French vs. Russian Tarragon: Which Should You Grow?

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.

DIY Tarragon Vinegar Recipe (Easy Pantry Staple)

Tarragon vinegar is made with tarragon and white wine vinegar. It has a strong flavor and is often used in salad dressings or as a marinade.

Here's an easy recipe for tarragon vinegar:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup minced tarragon
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. In a glass jar, mix white wine vinegar, tarragon, sugar, and salt.
2. Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks.
3. After 2 weeks, strain the vinegar and discard the tarragon. Pour vinegar into a clean glass jar and seal. Store in a cool, dark place.
