Saute carrots, onion, celery and garlic in olive oil. Add your pre-soaked peas
(I like green and yellow). Cover with a vegetable broth and simmer until peas
are soft. Puree soup (either with hand-held type you can put directly into the
soup pot or with food processor). No need to add cream. This soup is
delicious. I make homemade vegetable broth by roasting vegetable scraps first
then simmering in cold water.
