Puree Of Green Pea Soup

Servings: 2

I like it hot. I like it cold. Either way, I like my green pea soup puree – especially if I can find fresh green peas. And the vibrant colour really adds some wow to a main course! For an extra pop of texture and flavour, I can garnish the soup with bacon bits and croutons.
