Thermomix Pea & Mint Soup
Today is the first day that it has really felt like winter here in Maintenon. The dull gray sky found its match in the cold, damp air and it took a vigorous bike ride with ThermoHubby John, Billy and Harley to warm me up. Failing that, this simple and delicious recipe for Pea & Mint Soup should do the trick!

Fantastic, Lana! With such an easy and tasty recipe, this pea and mint soup is regularly made at public exhibitions where Thermomix UK is present, and that’s where I learned to make it. Enjoy, and happy Thermomix cooking!
Delish & easy – thanks very much! This will also be my go-to pea & mint soup now 🙂
