Made this for my husband and me for lunch; served with a grilled cheese sandwich. Per the suggestion in the notes, I diced an onion instead of using onion powder. I also added 2 diced carrots and 1/2 cup diced ham. Sauteed the onions, carrots, and ham together. Put both cans of peas into the nutribullet for a couple seconds before adding to the pan with the rest of the ingredients. Thank you for the recipe for using the canned peas, and I'll be making this again.
I just made this for the first time today. I wasn't sure about putting a tablespoon of onion powder in the soup. That seemed like a lot to me. Is that an error or does the recipe really call for that much onion powder? I made it with less today and it tastes fine, but if you tell me that is correct, next time I will make it with that amount and see if it tastes better!
We're so glad you tried this recipe. It's a great way to use canned peas! The amount of onion powder is not an error. One Tablespoon of onion powder is about the same as a medium chopped onion. See the notes about substituting fresh onion. The onion flavor can certainly be adjusted to fit your personal taste so using less onion powder is fine.
