This is my improved and extravagant version of a pea soup recipe in this new cookbook I have. To be honest, it tastes like a "posh" version of mushy peas, and if you like mushy peas like I do, you will love this soup. Now all I need to do is learn how to make a "posh" version of fish and chips to go with this soup...
