Green Pea Soup is a flavoursome soup to enjoy during winter season. Addition of a few mint leaves gives a good taste to it.
Winter is here and calls for warm drinks and fried snacks. The vendor lady brings a stack of peas everyday, I love these green beauties but how much can one store! Well, I made this soup and it was perfect for the cold nights.
There is hardly any chopping involved, and peas are usually shelled and put in the freezer.
The quantity given here produces more than six bowls of the drink. Feel free to reduce the quantity or you can store it in the refrigerator and use the next day.

Remember, to wash the gratings before using them.
