Notes
Variations for Green Pea Soup
I've used turkey and chicken stock for this soup and it's extra delicious. I have also made this many times with water and a stock cube and it’s lovely. I usually whizz it smooth, but because I had bits of turkey meat in the stock, I left it unwhizzed this time. I have even made it without the stock cube and seasoned with just salt and pepper.Nutrition
