Summer"ful" Soup
Hey, Whiskers!
I was inspired while reading the cookbook called Sababa by Tal and Nirit Saban. They have a recipe for pea soup and it just sounded good to me. I changed pretty much the rest of the ingredients, cuz even though I'm inspired by recipes I never said I was good at following them. The result is delicious and I'm pretty sure this has become one of my regular soups now. I made this for a meat meal so I didn't use any cheese but you can either make cheese croutons or just shave parmesan or pecorino romano over the top of each serving. It is delicious without as well, but when does a little cheese hurt, this is my families motto being big cheese fans. This is a great recipe that is originally vegan and you can take it anywhere you want to, or leave as is the mint notes hit beautifully without punching you in the face.
Till next time, keep whisking up love and happiness to those around you,
Sam
