Preparation

Step 1

Heat 2-3 tablespoons water in a soup pot. Add onions and water saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in vegetable broth, peas, lettuce, pepper and tarragon, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in non-dairy milk.

Add soup to a blender and blend until smooth, working in batches. Pour blended soup into a large bowl after each batch and when all the soup is blended, return to soup pot and heat through. Stir in lemon juice and remove from heat.
