Minty Pea Soup

Sounds wired, Minty Pea Soup?! But it tastes wonderful. When mint and peas are well balanced they perfectly match together. None of them overtakes the taste but plays well together with the other ingredient.

It is a healthy recipe, excluding Crème fraîche used for serving, which is of course optional. Tastes delicious no matter what.

We produce a lot of peas in Denmark, so it is perfect season to start preparing this soup. I love to sit down and start shelling peas. It is such a joy to prepare the soup from the bottom. Out of the season frozen peas can also be used.

Soup is tick so it is great dinner dish. To boost the taste we are preparing curry Crème fraîche for a little add on soup. We serve the soup with bacon and garlic bread which gives us just enough food for the rest of the day. It is very light dinner and we love it, especially if you wanna do some sport afterwards ;).
