In the previous article, I shared the recipe for Oven-Baked Beer Potatoes. Today, I bring you the recipe for a delicious Creamy Pea and Mint Soup.
Peas are rich in vitamins, including vitamins A, B1, B6, C, and folic acid. Additionally, they help alleviate menopause symptoms thanks to phytoestrogens.

Wine Pairing
Pair this dish with a Falanghina del Sannio DOC. This Campanian wine has a straw yellow color and intense aromas of ripe fruit, accompanied by jasmine notes. On the palate, the wine is fresh, balanced and savory.
Amo la buona cucina e le tradizioni enogastronomiche italiane, per me vino e dessert non sono solo un contorno ma la parte più interessante del buon vivere.
