This delightful version of the American classic features the woodsy herbaceous flavor of rosemary as a special touch. A quick saute of veggies in a little butter add a rich layer to the final soup. The sweet carrot and parsnip flavors round out the earthiness of the peas beautifully. The quick technique for garlic toast of rubbing the warm bread with the cut side of a clove is a wonderful way to impart flavor quickly. Serve this soup on a colder evening to bring warmth to the table. Add a quick tossed salad for a complete meal or make some steamed vegetables to serve on the side. Whether you want this for dinner or lunch, you are sure to leave the table fully satisfied.
