Directions
Barefoot Contessa’s Fresh Pea Soup,Earlier, I had posted Recipe #285307 after watching an episode of Ina Garten’s show on the FoodNetwork. Now, I have finally tried the Fresh Pea Soup from that airing and found that I love it, as well. I prepared this with frozen peas, and while the original recipe did call for mint, I didn’t have any on hand and omitted it. Pea soup may make some people’s heads spin, but this is so good. Pairing with the flavorful Roasted Red Pepper Sandwich would be an incredible meal.,Awesome! Just like from Alamo, CA on the way from SF to Santa Barbara!,How can I share this recipe through email
