This soup is a great way to use up leftover peas. It's also a good option for a light and healthy meal.

Not bad, but I think it needs a little more salt.

I tried this recipe and it was a hit with my family. The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the peas added a nice sweetness.

This is the best pea soup I have ever tried. It has a creamy texture and just the right amount of sweetness from the peas.
