Potage St. Germain | Fresh Pea Soup Recipe
Potage St. Germain is a french green pea soup which has season's fresh peas along with a couple of other vegetables and a base of Bechamel sauce, which makes it creamy, hearty and delicious. Here, I have modified the way of making this green pea soup by cooking the vegetables in a pressure cooker and then bringing everything together in a pot.
