Pea and Mint Soup

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.
