Sometimes, we just want a bowl of something warm, smooth, and nourishing—especially on days when life feels a little too fast. That's where this creamy pea soup comes in.

It's cozy, it's green, and best of all? We only need a handful of ingredients.

Today, we're walking you through a creamy green soup made from fresh pea pods, a splash of milk, and a melty slice of cheese. It's so easy, so tasty, and it just feels like home.

Let's Start with the Ingredients

Here's everything we'll need:

• 500 grams of fresh pea pods (that's about a medium-sized bag)

• 240 ml of milk (1 small carton or one cup)

• 1 slice of cheese (we used sandwich cheese, but anything creamy will do)

• A pinch of salt

• A touch of pepper

That's it—no flour, no cream, no complicated steps.

Step 1: Boil and Cool the Pea Pods

First, let's get the fresh flavor out of our pea pods. Give them a good rinse, then bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add a small spoon of salt or a pinch of baking soda—this helps keep the peas a lovely bright green. Drop the pods into the boiling water and cook them for about 5 minutes. Don't cover the pot! We want the steam to escape so the peas keep their sweet flavor.

Once time's up, scoop them out and immediately run them under cold water or dunk them into a bowl of ice water. This stops the cooking process and keeps their color vivid. Now, here's the fun part—pop open those pods and slide out the sweet green peas inside. Set them aside; these are our soup stars.

Step 2: Blend the Peas and Milk Together

Next, grab your blender. Toss in all those fresh, sweet peas and pour in the milk. Blend until smooth. Don't worry if it's a little thick—that's exactly what we want! You can always add a splash more milk later if you prefer a thinner texture.

This green mixture should already smell fresh and sweet. It's thick, creamy, and packed with good stuff.

Step 3: Heat It Up and Add Flavor

Pour your green smoothie-like mixture into a small saucepan. Turn the heat to low or medium and gently stir while it warms up. Now's the time to add a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of pepper to taste.

Here comes the magic: drop in a slice of cheese. As it melts into the soup, you'll see it become silkier and richer. Stir slowly, and don't let it boil—we just want it warm enough to melt everything together. Once the cheese is fully blended and the soup is simmering, we're done!

Optional Add-Ons (If You're Feeling Fancy)

Want to jazz it up a bit? Here are some extra ideas:

• A swirl of oat milk or cream on top

• A few fresh mint leaves

• Croutons or crushed roasted nuts for crunch

• A tiny drizzle of olive oil

Totally optional, but totally fun.

What We Love About This Soup

This recipe is comforting, but it's also practical. Got leftover pea pods from another meal? Use them here. Got cheese sitting in the fridge? Perfect. It's also vegetarian, gentle on the tummy, and a lovely way to sneak in more veggies without even trying.

We also love how quick it is. From start to finish, it takes about 20–25 minutes. And clean-up? Super simple. Just a pot and a blender.

Let's Make It Together, Lykkers!
