PEA SOUP

It´s finally snow time! And what does that mean? Getting cosy in the morning, driving to the mountains and play in the snow like there was no tomorrow. Seriously, that was so much fun. Let´s be honest, we are not kids anymore… but take me to the snow and I become one in a matter of seconds. And I´ll come back home wet from head to toes (or rather from jacket to underwear…)

And how good is that after-play-time feeling? Getting home, taking a warm shower, putting on cosy clothes… and sitting on the table to the most creamy and deliciously soup ever. Seriously, is there anything better than that?

And the best part is that you can make this soup in less than 15 minutes using pre-cooked potatoes and peas. I always keep some in my pantry for those days when I need a hot soup ready in a matter of minutes. And the flavour matches perfectly with some bread and hummus. So don´t be shy and dip dip dip!
