This pea and mint potage is one of my favorite quick weeknight soups because it comes together in just 45 minutes from start to table. Fresh peas are wonderfully nutritious, packed with plant based protein and fiber that keeps you satisfied for hours. The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity and affordability, using humble pantry staples that most of us already have on hand. A handful of fresh mint transforms the whole pot into something that tastes like spring, even on the darkest days. Whether you're cooking for yourself or feeding a small crowd, this silky soup never fails to impress.
