Pea and Mint Soup Recipe

I’ve been wanting to try a Green Pea and Mint Soup recipe for a long time, but for that I had to wait for the pea season to return, and yes because fresh peas remain essential. best !

And since today is the first day of summer, how can we resist? The season for soups and veloutés is not yet here but, in an iced version, it is absolutely the right time!

So, after mixing everything together, let it cool and refrigerate until ready to serve. If the velouté has thickened a little while cooling (which is entirely possible), you can always add one or two ice cubes when serving…

In any case, for those who want to have a beautiful effect whether as a starter or in aperitif glasses, without wasting too much time in the kitchen, this is the perfect recipe because it is simple, quick and tasty.

Finally, if you feel like it, you can always try a hot version of this minted pea soup, it is also very very good (yes, I tried it anyway…) and then if you If you wish, you can still make it with frozen peas, but it still doesn’t have the same taste…
