Spring Pea Soup Recipe

Although spring is finally in the air, I am still enjoying making and eating soups. This Spring Pea Soup recipe can be served hot or cold, and would make a great side dish at Easter dinner or a spring brunch. 

Pea Soup

The recipe is based on Ina Garten’s Fresh Pea Soup recipe, but I used frozen peas and made a few other changes.

    I love soup in general and pea soup is one of my favorites. I love how easy this recipe sounds–pinned it! And made your tomato soup last week–it was a hit!

  3. My hubby loves pea soup but always put ham in it! Haven’t made it in a while but I was all about soup this winter (which is still going on into spring)

  4. I’m such a big soup fan and always happy to have a new recipe! Thanks for sharing this one!

    I love pea soup! Even though canned peas are the only food I refuse to eat. I have always used dried split peas, I wonder how different it would taste with frozen peas. I think I’ll definitely try adding leeks the next time I make a pot. That sounds delicious!
