Author Notes
My pea soup is surprisingly simple and packs a lot of flavor even though it only contains a few ingredients. I’ve made many soup recipes in the past, but the ones that I like usually have a massive ingredient list. This is what motivated me to create a soup that is easy yet delicious. The beauty of this soup is that, since the recipe does not contain any overbearing spices to hide the taste, the flavor of the peas really comes through. —Madeline
