Sweet peas soup

Sweet peas soup
Dried split peas are often used for making pea soup. But dried peas lack the natural sweetness of fresh peas which gives pea soup a more nuanced flavor. In this recipe, frozen fresh peas are used. After simmering them in chicken broth, the peas are pureed with an immersion blender. No cream is added.
Cook time: 15 minutes minutes
