I made this recipe for a last-minute summer get together. I did not use any salsa and I used the sour cream and chives (whirred in the food processor) as a topping for the soup. YUM! It was so simple to make, looked wonderful, and was a hit with everyone. I'll make it as often as peas are at the farmer's market now and later, with the frozen peas.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
