There are probably a gazillion pea soup recipes, but second to my mom’s pea soup (best in the cold weather months), this one is my favourite (for the warm weather months). I love how easy this soup is to make, and as the weather is getting warmer, it’s definitely a go-to recipe. 

Peas are a good source of protein, fiber, B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin K, carotenes, and a slew of minerals, including magnesium, potassium, iron, and phosphorous. Mint is an excellent herb to relieve gas and intestinal cramps. In fact, peppermint oil capsules are often recommended for treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It can also help relieve symptoms of hay fever and possibly even inhibit the growth of cancer.

I can’t understand how I haven’t shared this recipe sooner, so here it is now. Let me know what you think of it.
