1 teaspoon chicken or vegetable bouillon
1 Tablespoon onion powder
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
Green pea soup

Notes

For a smoother soup, combine peas with liquid and milk in a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth, then add to saucepan.
Try fresh onion for extra flavor!
Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in the saucepan over medium heat. Add 3/4 cup chopped fresh onion. Cook until onion is soft then add peas with liquid.
