This is a recipe my stepfather has been making for years. He learned it while living in Mexico. It is delicious and is best when you let it sit overnight.

I'm not a huge fan of pea soup, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The mint and lime add a nice brightness to the soup. I would definitely make it again.
