Nutrition
Notes
Frozen peas work especially well and can be added directly to the soup without thawing.
Avoid overcooking the peas to help preserve their bright green color and fresh flavor.
For a lighter version, replace the heavy cream with milk or unsweetened plant-based cream.
Add the fresh mint after cooking so its flavor remains bright.
Toast or warm the crusty bread just before serving.
