Peas soup with simple ingredients available. Easy and comforting soup, filling for dinner with toast. Step by step pictures recipe.
Winter is here and green peas is in season. Though fresh green peas is bit costly here, I never miss to buy whenever I visit Little India.
I freeze and use it for kurma, pulao, biryani, curry etc. This year too got some fresh peas and been using it.
Thought of trying a soup with it and tried the usual way I make soup. I found this should be strained as the skin remains coarse after blending.
I have used potato in the soup to make it thick, creamy and tasty. Though peas by itself is starchy, potato is a good add. Also added coriander leaves for flavour and colour.

Peas soup came out well and my kid also liked it. Instead of briyani leaf , I used cinnamon and instead of blending, I put it in mixer not to waste it.

A very interesting, innovative and simple recipe. This turned out so delicious. Blended in mixer and did not strain so as to retain the nutrients. Added a few mint leaves. Loved it.
