Soupe aux pois cassés verts

The mint and basil are subtle enough that they don’t overpower, but they do leave a nice, fresh aftertaste that makes this feel lighter than most split pea soups. It’s thick and filling, perfect for a cold evening when I need something comforting fast.

I was skeptical about herbs in soup, but the tarragon gives it a brightness that makes the split peas feel lighter. A single bowl kept me full for hours without that heavy, bloated feeling.

The mint and basil come through just enough to make it feel fresh, not overpowering. I heated it up after a long day and the tarragon made my stomach feel settled instead of heavy. This is my new go-to when I need something comforting that doesn't weigh me down.
