  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 700 g Garden peas frozen (5 cups)

Notes

  • Garden peas don't need long to cook, nor any higher than medium heat, so avoid overcooking as they will lose their lovely bright green colour
  • Warm soup bowls in the bottom of the oven before serving so they stay hot for longer
  • Only add salt and pepper to season soup to taste at the end if preferred
  • For extra flavour, make a zesty creme fraiche mixture with lemon or lime zest in a small bowl before spooning into the soups to serve
