This is a herby and light soup, to enjoy either as a light supper or as a starter. This is the type of light, but nutrient packed soups that I enjoy as a dinner. Since I personally want to eat the heavier meals only in the beginning or middle of the day, when I need the energy.
TIP: If you want a thicker soup, use less water.

Want to luxe it up?
Here are three different ideas to luxe up your green pea soup:
- Dress it with truffle oil prior to serving.
- Strain the soup prior to serving for an ultra smooth experience.
- Add 0,5 dl champagne (or prosecco) on top of each bowl, prior to serving.
