Potage Saint Germain is a French cuisine classic. Originally made of fresh green peas, it’s the typical spring soup that can be made year-round using green split peas pureed.

This is exactly what we call green pea soup, very common in American and Venezuelan cuisines. On a rainy day, there is nothing better than this tasteful, creamy, smooth potage.
The following is my delicious recipe. I hope you like it as much as we do.
