Green Pea Soup
This is a delicious soup and can be made either with fresh or frozen peas through the year. It is popular all over the world and is considered a classic. If you are not calorie conscious, you can use rich creamy milk instead of extra water after you puree the cooked vegetables. The initial stock obtained while cooking the peas is also used for the soup.
