This recipe is missing some important details. It doesn't say how much water to add to the soup or how long to simmer it for.

I followed the recipe exactly but my soup turned out too thick. I had to add more water to thin it out.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the texture was not very smooth. I probably won't make this again.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about pea soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the crème fraîche added a nice touch of richness. I would definitely make this again.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a hit! The soup is creamy and flavorful, and the crème fraîche adds a touch of richness and acidity that really brings the dish together. I highly recommend it!
