Recipe Review: Pea and Mint Soup page 30 British Isles on a Plate

[Cornish Cream]

A cheap,quick,smooth delicious soup that I loved.I did cook the peas an extra couple of minutes.I added the mint to suit my own personal taste,I think 10g would have been overpowering.

It looks .....green. I've never had fresh pea soup.

I'm not that keen on mint either CC, I never buy frozen minted peas.  Dad used to grow peas so when Mum cooked the  fresh peas I used to really enjoy drinking the water in which they were cooked - pea water, did anyone else do the same?

I got this recipe off Katie today, came home and made a batch.  Denise, your review was spot on and like you I only added a small amount of mint (10 small leaves from my garden). I used boiling water so there was no need to cook the peas any extra time as you did.  This is a great recipe if unexpected visitors arrive on your doorstep at mealtime and normal frozen peas work well.  I only buy the more expensive baby peas but I stopped off at the shop and bought the bigger variety which happened to be on special for $1.47 - such a cheap meal.
