55 minutes
Garlic and green pea cream soup is a true embodiment of refined French cuisine. Historically, cream soups were a sign of sophistication and comfort, and the addition of roasted garlic and fresh green peas brings a special depth of flavor to the dish. Tender, velvety, with a light sweetness from the peas and warm spiciness from the garlic, this soup offers a comforting sensation of coziness. Adding cream or sour cream before serving makes it even more delicate. Perfect for a leisurely dinner or light lunch, it highlights the subtlety of gastronomy by revealing the richness of flavor nuances.
