• Romaine, pea and mint soup with sorrel mint pesto (take 2)

I love soups and make one most weeks of the year. It's a great way to consume fruits and vegetables and I try hard not to use much if any cream or butter products. This is the latest rework of a romaine, pea and mint soup I've been working on for a few weeks now - I posted an earlier version last week. The pesto addition in this version adds both depth of flavor and texture to the soup that makes it soar. I made this one using herbs that suggest spring to me: mint and sorrel. But the pesto can change all through the year according to what's in season, just as you would change a salad for the seasons. Since I used worcestershire sauce as a final seasoning to the soup in this version, I use spiced pinenuts from antoniajames recipe for the pesto. If you try this soup, and I hope you do, I hope you love it as much as my family did. We had it warm, since it was a little chilly still here yesterday, but on a hot summer day, I would serve it slightly chilled.
