French Canadian Pea Soup

This French Canadian Pea Soup brings back my childhood. The memory of cold winter nights and warm meals. My mom would put her peas to soak the night before she would make the soup. I knew that the next day, our home would smell fabulous and I’d have the pleasure of eating that big bowl of comfort. Shout out to my mama who “veganized” the recipe and is making it taste just as if it was back then. You should also check out these French Canadian Shepherd’s Pie.
