Green Pea Skin Soup
by Tarla Dalal
A creamy soup with no cream! The Green Pea Skin Soup is a deliciously unique soup made with the skin and the pods of green peas, cooked with milk and onions. When you open the cooker after the required whistles, it might seem like the milk has curdled, but worry not, that is the way it is supposed to be. Once you blend, strain and season it, the soup will be just perfect!

Tasty. Very good to make when I didn''t have much more than peas in the cupboard.
I never thought green pea skin can be used so effectively.. I tried this soup and everyopne loved it.. It has a creamy consistency without using any cream in it.. It has little pepper flavour and is tasty..
Nice fibre rich healthy green peas soup.
