Green Peas Soup


2- Green Peas Soup

 

At times, I really feel the best way to live is to be oblivious to the weaknesses of our loved ones. How much ever we love them, as much as they excite us, they tend to push us down too. We all go through this phase where we get bogged down by how our close ones behave to us. It may make us so low that we feel we wouldn’t want to be with them at all. But is that the right way? I have gone through this so many times and even though I end up feeling bitter, I always feel that forgiving them and pushing such incidents to the deep recesses of the mind is the only way to move forward. Or else we would only be making ourselves feel worse. It is not that I forgive that easy, but when I go to think of it later, I always wish I would have reacted differently to situations so that it wouldn’t have worsened. Having said that, it only pushes the fact that a lot in life is already pre-written.

 

Colder days are coming, Alhamdulillah. Even though it is warm during the afternoons, I absolutely love the way the mornings and evenings feel these days. It feels nice to be out rather than inside the home! And definitely the days to have more warm soups are coming! I love any sort of peas so would definitely love soups made of them as well.  This green peas soup is so comforting and filling, that you do not need anything to go with it for dinner. Off to the recipe…
