About

This is a summer soup when fresh peas are in abundance but if you are in a hurry you can use frozen peas, although this really does spoil the fun of the shelling. If you are making a vegetable stock you can use the pea pods in the stockpot and any pea shoots attached to the pea pods make a delicious addition to a salad. If you must use frozen peas then 1 large bag will suffice.
