The weather here is getting colder and every day we prefer to have some hot soup during dinner time. This is a simple pressure cooker soup recipe, made using fresh green peas. You can use frozen peas also. We are using some coriander leaves also to enhance the taste. Peas are a very good source of protein. This is a very filling soup and can be had with toast to make a meal. I added little fresh milk in this recipe, but you can skip this if you don’t want to milk in soup. Also, you can add 1 tbsp of fresh cream in the last to get a nice creamy texture.
