Pea soup works well as a starter and is loved by most vegetarians. Lots of people don’t like peas, however, either due to a hangover from childhood or an aversion to green food. For some people, green food has an odd taste due to the mix of taste buds they were born with. If you know your guests are okay with peas, then this pea soup is undoubtedly a winner. It can be difficult to find fresh peas, even when they are in season. Thankfully we have technology to snap freeze peas very soon after picking, retaining their natural sweetness. This means that frozen peas are perfectly suitable for this recipe.
