Dish of the Day: Pea Soup with Goat Cheese Crumbles from Meli Melo

This week's cooler New York weather has had me thinking more and more about my favorite comfort foods. Soup is a number one contender (though against my mom's chocolate chip cookies, I'm not sure who wins!) and there's nothing I'd like more than to settle into my comfy couch with my cat and sip a few spoonfuls of warm goodness.

My copy-cat soup of choice? Meli Melo's Pea Soup with Goat Cheese Crumbles. It's quite easy in fact: three pounds of green peas are undercooked in two quarts of chicken broth. The end...sort of. The chef says in order to really thicken up the brew, add four diced potatoes. While I love my soup warm, this Pea Soup is best serve cold with numerous crumbles of goat cheese thrown on top for garnish.

I'm already excited about making this Pea Soup from Meli Melo this weekend; a really relaxed soup, healthy to boot, that uses my favorite cheese. What's not to love?
