  I'm normally a great fan of BBC Good Food recipes but I really disliked this soup and could not eat it.

  I liked the simplicity of this recipe. It tastes good as a hot soup too. However, I did find it necessary to adapt it a fair bit. I used cream instead of yoghurt and mixed it in rather than drizzling it. I used fine ground white pepper as finer and more delicate than black pepper as a seasoning. I also found I had to go easy on the watercress because this is a strong bitter herb and it can overpower the taste of the garden peas. I also added a generous grating of nutmeg which made all the difference to the flavour.
