Do you regularly include legumes in your diet? You really should. They're full of plant protein, fibre, carbohydrates, and other healthy nutrients. Peas specifically are a great source of vitamin B. A soup is a great way to include peas in your diet. These peeled and halved peas also save you time as there's no need to soak them ahead, and they cook faster. If you want to upgrade the meal, just add some seeded crackers, which add healthy fats and a nice crunch too.
