What each ingredient does
- Green peas
- Provide the main body and flavor of the soup once cooked and puréed.
The step that matters
Cook until the peas are tender. Peas must be fully softened so they break down smoothly when pressed through a sieve. Undercooked peas leave a grainy, starchy texture in the finished soup.
