Sugar Snap Pea Soup with Parmesan Crisps



this is a refreshing chilled sugar snap pea soup served in a stemmed glass,
a combination of wonderful flavors with beautiful color enhanced with
an aromatic fresh culinary herb oregano of the mint family,
it grows profusely in my herb garden and is invasive just like it's mint cousin,
it requires lots of pruning but well worth the effort to be able to enjoy adding it to many dishes to impart wonderful tastes.

Be sure to see my 8 course Beef Tenderloin menu
with this sugar snap pea soup recipe for a Dinner Party course
