Herby green Pea soup

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 soup that I enjoy as dinner. Since I personally want to eat 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.

Servings: 4

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.
