I'm not a big fan of peas, but I really enjoyed this soup. The watercress adds a nice peppery flavor that balances out the sweetness of the peas. I also liked the creamy texture of the soup. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. It needed more seasoning, and I would have liked to see some more vegetables in it. Overall, it was a disappointment.
