How To Make Green Peas Peel Soup | Green Peas Peel Soup Recipe

Making green peas peel soup at home is super simple. To make it, start by:

1. Preparing The Peels

Clean the green pea pods and remove the strings from the sides of the peels. Soak the peels in water for about 2 hours to soften them and remove any impurities. 

2. Cooking The Ingredients

In a pressure cooker, combine the soaked peels, green peas, butter, milk, and water. Pressure cook the mixture for 4 whistles or until the peels are soft.

3. Blending The Mixture

Once slightly cooled, transfer the cooked mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. 

4. Straining

Pass the blended mixture through a fine sieve to remove any pulp. Add water if needed to adjust the consistency. 

5. Seasoning And Serving

Pour the soup back into a pot, add salt and pepper to taste, and bring it to a gentle boil. Serve hot with a drizzle of cream or a side of crusty bread.
