Makes 2 servings
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 ounce pancetta, diced (I used proscuitto but any ham could be substituted)
1/2 small white onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 stalks celery, diced
4 ounces frozen baby peas
2 cups romaine lettuce hearts, shredded
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth (plus a little extra for thinning out)
Heat oil in sauce pan and add ham/proscuitto/pancetta and saute until lightly browned and add celery, garlic and onion. Saute until soft about 5 minutes.
Add peas and lettuce and the broth. brig to a simmer and cook until peas are tender.
Using an immersion blender or real blender - blend soup until it's chunky smooth - adding a little more broth if it's too thick (I ended up using 2 cups total broth)
Serve hot or cold with a dollop of sour cream.
