Fresh Green Pea Soup is delicious and since fresh peas are seasonal I will like to make this soup whenever we have a batch of fresh green peas. The soup is different and creamy but gets done fast. A great easy way to get protein-rich diet.
Fresh Peas Soup
My first introduction to peas in liquid form was this rhyme, it made sense when I was teaching it to my younger kid. As a kid myself I repeated it without understanding it.
Pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold,
Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old;
Some like it hot, some like it cold,
Some like it in the pot, nine days old.
Preferred to teach her this kind of rhyme whenever I spent time with her. This made it easy to feed her anything at all. Since she kept begging for soup I have given her amti! She made a mess when she fed herself but we had 3-4 designated bed sheets used for her to eat. She was easier to feed and healthier too.
Soup and salads are our preferred food so I guess I make them often. Many times I do not click pictures it's only after the dish is finished I think I should have taken pictures.
Here are few of the soups I have tried in the past
- Simple Pumpkin Soup,
- Bottle Gourd and Ridge Gourd Soup, Lauki aur Turai Ka Soup,
- Beat the Heat with Chilled Cucumber Mint Soup,
- Beet Broschet a Tart Soup from Ukraine,
- Vegetarian Wonton Soup,
- Vegetable Thupka ~ A Delicious Vegetarian Noodle Soup.
Fresh Peas Soup needs just 3 main ingredients peas, onions and peas. Milk and cream can be avoided if you are vegan or if you wish.

This soup is so colourful and I think it is so different from other soups I have had. Must be an unique flavour because of the green peas.

After having come across a few peas soup recipes this season, I'm convinced that I need to try out the recipe soon. Archana, your preparation looks so creamy and feel that the a drizzle of cream will definitely make it silky smooth.
