This comforting soup is filled with fresh-from-the-garden flavor. Yukon potatoes, leeks, peas and fresh tomatoes ensure that you're getting your daily fill of vegetables in this tasty dish. If you do not have an immersion blender, then you can ladle spoonfuls of the pea soup into a blender or food process a few cups at a time and blend. We used frozen peas in this rich, creamy soup but you can use fresh ones instead.* And fresh tarragon can be swapped for the dill. Garnish the soup with fresh dill once you add the yogurt sauce and tomatoes.
