About

Frothy soups and sauces are used in professional kitchens to add lightness and movement to dishes. It’s essentially more about presentation than flavour, but when combined with soups of thicker consistency, it’s a great way to add two flavours together. In this case you get a burst of mint followed by the flavour of the peas.
