Green pea and sweet potato soup

One of my favourite soups isGreen pea and watercress soupwhich I make a lot during Spring and early Summer. This time I’ve decided to make it with sweet potato, petit pois and rocket and watercress mixture which made the soup even more delicate and delicious ! This green pea and sweet potato soup is vegan, healthy and super easy to make! You can use just watercress or rocket, if you prefer.
