Quick and easy green pea soup

This quick and easy green pea soup is one my favourite recipes because it's ready in 10 minutes and is absolutely delicious. I've made it with rocket too which is also yummy. It would also fit in a dinner menu during the summer (as a starter). Serve it with fresh, wholesome bread, blinis or scones.
