Creamy Spring Greens Soup
This bright, beautiful green chilled soup is amazingly simple to make: other than briefly immersing the peas in boiling water, it requires no cooking. We recommend using a variety of spring greens to achieve the best flavor and avoid bitterness.

INSTRUCTIONS
Place the peas in a small heat bowl with enough boiling water to cover them. Chill the bowl for at least 4 hours before adding the spring greens, cucumber, avocado, lemon juice, and broth.
To make the gremolata, combine the parsley, radishes, chives, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Stir the milk into the soup just before serving. Serve with gremolata on top. With crackers, serve.
