SYN FREE PEA AND MINT SOUP
A delicious take on an old classic, the pea and mint soup. Perfectly tasty, filling and Syn free when following the Slimming World plan.
Is there any soup more striking than a vibrant pea soup? It’s actually one of the first dishes I remember making at school in Home economics.. just a few years ago… *coughs*. Actually I think I have the lovely Mrs Clapton to thank for my love of cooking. Sadly however she did not teach me that making cookies and stodgy jam sponge pudding would turn me into a podgy mess one day! I do hope children are better educated about food nowadays.
Anyhoo, this beautiful pea and mint soup is enough to warm up anyone on a cold winters evening. It is so quick, easy and cheap to make that you will have the whole family coming back for seconds every time.
