  I made this on recommendation from a friend, but was cautious as the combination of mint and peas did not seem appetizing. Have to say I loved it and will definitely making this again!

  As a student on a low budget and with little time to spare during this exam period, this is one perfection of a low cost easy to cook soup. I recommend it even if your not so keen on vegetable soups, it will surprise you. Compromise on cost, but not flavour with this pleasingly tangy and exciting soup.

  So simple, so quick and absolutely delicious! Made this from chives instead of spring onions, apart from the lemon everything else came from the garden. Gormet food for nearly nothing!

  Made this for lunch yesterday and loved it. As only 2 of us, I halved the ingredients, though used slightly more than half quantity of frozen peas (about 150g). Once liquidised, I returned to the pan and reheated with some chopped sliced ham (other half doesn't "do" vegetarian!). Didn't have enough sour cream to stir through, so just added a few blobs to each bowl after serving, which we then stirred through. Will definitely make again.

  Great soup and recipe. Now I'm going to look for more healthy 5* recipes on the website! Used 300g of frozen peas, and a large onion instead of the spring onions. Actually I couldn't tell the difference in taste when I made it with a regular onion versus spring onions...

  I used this as part of a starter for a New Year celebration dinner, it went down well when reheated a day later. I used Frozen Peas too. It's a good ratio of pea to mint. I left out the sugar and buttermilk, using a lime instead but I had made my veg stock from scratch, onion carrot, celery and a bay leaf so I think it was sweet enough

  This recipe is very quick and easy to make. I used frozen petite pois and no cream, but a dash of milk and it was lovely. Also very low calories but extremely tasty. Delish!

  I thought this was a little disappointing and have had better results using some good veg. stock and then blitzing with frozen peas and fresh mint. I thought the addition of the potato made it too starchy.

  Used frozen peas, greek yogurt and bouillon cubes, and it STILL came out completely awesome. Foolproof recipe.

  Frozen peas, shallots instead of spring onions, ham stock cube, and added a bag of watercress - gorgeous! We like a creamy soup but I wanted to keep this healthy - 2 teaspoons of low-fat cream cheese before blitzing and it was just like a cream soup. Thing is, I actually forgot the mint the first time (!) and we much preferred it to the minty batch I made this time.
