Fresh Green Pea Soup image

All that I'm saying is give peas a chance! This is a refreshing and light soup from Christine Cushing -- the buttermilk adds a little tang to balance out the sweet peas. While fresh is best, you can also use frozen peas.

This soup was a little too salty for my taste, but it was still pretty good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out way too thick. I had to add a lot of extra water to thin it out.

This soup is a great way to sneak some extra vegetables into your diet. My kids loved it, and they didn't even realize they were eating peas.

This soup was a little bland for my taste, but it had potential. I think it would have been better with some additional herbs and spices.
