I love vegetable soups! Though many of them – like carrot or beet soups – are pretty autumnal. Perfect for cold and dark fall days spent on the couch. But I want to enjoy creamy soups around the year. One of my spring and summer favourites of veggie soups is made with peas. The vibrant green colour together with fresh and light taste are perfect for warmer seasons. Well, it’s not that warm in Finland yet, but I’m staring my dreams of summer with this green deliciousness!

Enjoy with fresh baked bread!
