Notes
Fresh is best: I’ve found that fresh peas give the soup a vibrant taste, but frozen peas work well too!
Mint substitutes: If you don't have fresh mint, try using basil or parsley for a different twist.
Make it vegan: Skip the cream or use coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
This soup is great as a starter or a light meal. It's always a hit whenever I make it! 🎉
