Potage De Petits Pois

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

Prepare

  1. Open the tin of petits pois and drain.

  2. In a pot, combine the peas and broth.

Cook and serve

  1. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

  2. If the peas have lost color, add a little spinach-greening.

  3. Blend the mixture until smooth and serve hot.
