This Green Pea Soup is comforting, easy to make for quick weeknight dinners, and healthy. This soup is traditional in Scandinavian countries, with different names: Ƥrtsoppa (Sweden), hernekeitto (Finland), ertesuppe (Norway), Ʀrter de gule (Denmark). The ingredients also vary. Green peas are used in Finland and yellow peas in other countries. We only need simple ingredients, and as always made with real foods: frozen green peas, carrot, onion, zucchini, garlic, vegetable broth, Extra Virgin Olive Oil…
We served it with roasted local purple potato and crispy baked carrots and a good slice of whole wheat toasted bread.
