- 1 liter Chicken Stock
- 1 handful Fresh Mint

➔ Do not boil peas too long or color fades.
➔ Add mint at the very end for maximum freshness.
➔ Chill the peas in ice water to keep green.
➔ Taste the soup before adding any extra salt.
➔ Use a powerful blender for a very smooth texture.
➔ Simmer the ham slowly so it stays very juicy.
