A STUNNING pea soup and well worth the effort! We all loved this, it was deep and smoky tasting with rich taste of peas, simply delicious! I served this with chopped chives and fresh French bread, it was fabulous for a cold spring day. Made for PAC 2010 and Soup, Salads and Sandwiches in the Photo's Forum, merci Norma! FT:-)

Made this as written, though reduced the amount of carrots in half. Had plenty of pea flavor in it, and noticed the chicken flavor with the bouillon cubes. Was great with grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. Made for Fall Cooking Tag 2012.
