It's rainy & raw here today Chuck, and your pea soup looks splendid and so tummy warming.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so bright and spring-like, so much better than dried split-pea soup. Nothing like using fresh peas Chuck - delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful! I could not get a good picture of my pea soup when I made it. Perhaps I needed a little pretty garnish!
