- 200 g green peas frozen
- 100 g Chickpeas canned
- 3-4 tbs olive oil

Green peas are not only an extremely tasty vegetable, but also provide plenty of valuable nutrients. Thanks to the mix of vitamins B1, B2, B6, C and iron, they fight against fatigue, anemia, concentration and learning problems and disorders of the immune system.
Pea soup is a very popular type of dish in Northern and Central Europe, Iran, Iraq and Russia. I decided to diversify the classic pea soup and add some chickpeas. The two vegetables are from one family and go well together in other meals, so I thought why not. I’ve always liked the combination of similar vegetables… like broccoli and cauliflower, different kinds of beans in one dish, or chickpeas and peas. Try this super easy soup and you will love it for sure. If you have another great idea how to diversify the classic pea soup, write to me… I’ll be more than happy to give it a shot.
