Green Pea Soup
Is it really possible to make soup from just two ingredients?
It sure is!
Years ago when I had my cafe, if we were short on time we would quickly whip this up for our ‘soup de jour’ and my customers loved it. They would be very surprised to learn just how quick and easy it is!
You can fancy it up by sauteing some onion, garlic and/or chilli first and topping the finished soup with yoghurt and fresh mint or coriander. Sometimes I throw some baby spinach in just for some extra greens! You can of course use fresh peas too, but if short on time, just make it as it is since it is definitely tasty enough.
Enjoy 🙂
