    Here's a fresh and easy pea soup recipe for spring. Now this is what I call a delicious soup! It's exactly what I like to have when I am craving a good hot soup and is the perfect dish to have on a rainy day. This Crema de Arvejas is a popular soup in the department of Cundinamarca in Colombia.

    If you've been following my blog for any length of time, you know that I love fresh, homemade soups, the soups I grew up with in Colombia. Considering that soups are so simple to make from scratch, I can't find a good reason to buy canned soups.

    Buen provecho!

      I don't usually think of peas as something I'd crave, but you just may have changed my mind.

      Just made this today! I loved it! In a pinch i used Knorr Caldo con Sabor de Pollo, becasue i didnt have any chicken broth. I used 4 tablespoons, so i didnt need to add any additional salt. just pepper, in the furute i will use less and see how it goes! Over all Delish! Thank you for sharing!
