This vibrant pea and mint velouté has become my go to comfort soup, and I'm excited to share it with you. Fresh peas are packed with plant based protein and fiber, making this a wonderfully nourishing choice that actually feels indulgent. What I love most is how quickly it comes together in just under an hour, and it uses simple pantry staples you probably already have on hand. The bright mint cuts through the richness beautifully, creating something that tastes restaurant quality but requires minimal effort. Trust me, once you make this silky smooth soup, it'll become a regular on your table too.
