Summary
Don't let the 1/2 cup of peas left over from Latin–Style Chicken and Rice languish in your freezer. Whip up a batch of this comforting—and easy—vegetarian soup. Puréeing a small amount of the soup thickens the broth just enough to make it rich and velvety. A last–minute sprinkling of chopped dill underscores the soup's fresh flavor.
