A Spring in Your Step-- Green Pea and Mint Soup

Peas, along with asparagus and ramps, are a few of the best parts of Spring. When Spring sprung last week, much of the country was experiencing snow, so I decided to hold off on publishing this out of respect to those not experiencing Spring weather.
