I was craving a spring pea soup recipe and this is it!!! I modified the ingredients as I saw on the tv show as well! I used shallots and NONE of the GREEN LEEK tops!! ( just the white portion.
I love the mild flavor flavor and I made croutons to finish it off! Fantastic!!!

I read most of the reviews and so of course I made some modifications. I used bacon fat instead of butter, and I omitted the mint, chives and creme fraiche. Instead I added 1T of pepper and I sautéed 1 sliced clove of garlic with the leeks and onion. At the end of the pureeing I added some chopped ham and toped with parmesan garlic croutons. If you try my version I hope you enjoy it.

Love you, Ina, but I did not like this recipe. The only change I made was fry some bacon to start and used the grease to cook the onion and leeks. Still not much flavor. And had to add twice as much salt, but maybe that had to do with the stock I used. Will not make again.

I thought it was horrible with no taste.

Outstanding. I made a couple of changes, but don't omit the mint. Not a mint fan myself, I did put it in and it doesn't at all overwhelm the flavor of the soup. I also added instead of 2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. + 2 heaping T. of Better Than Bouillon chicken concentrate. Instead of creme fraiche, I used half-and-half. And instead of her tedious blender instructions, I simply took an immersion blender to the whole batch of soup. Results were outstanding and I wouldn't change it from now on. Hubby deemed it perfect.

SO GOOD! Don't skip the mint though, that really adds to the flavor, I sometimes put the dried mint flakes, that also works.

Liked this recipe a lot as it was far from traditional with the mint. Very fresh tasting. It was great, but I am not sure I would run to make it again.

Delicious hot or cold. Every time I make this soup, I get rave reviews. Excluding the creme fraiche, it's a gluten-free, dairy-free recipe and can even be made vegan by using vegetable broth. I recommend using the chicken broth though as it's much more flavorful that way.
