25 minutes
Green pea cream soup is an elegant dish of French cuisine that captivates gourmets with its tenderness and exquisite flavor. Its roots trace back to traditional French velouté, but over time it has gained a richer and fresher character thanks to the peas. The velvety texture of the soup is achieved through cream and potatoes, while the light sweetness of canned peas harmonizes with the mild spiciness of black pepper. It is served with crispy croutons, herbs, or airy whipped cream, adding subtle contrasts to the flavor play. Ideal as a light lunch or elegant appetizer, this soup can warm the soul and provide true gastronomic pleasure.
