This is a far cry from army-green split pea soup. Cooking the peas briefly retains their vibrant color, and the addition of fresh herbs keeps the finished soup looking and tasting bright. Delicious warm or chilled, it's a springtime staple. This is part of BA's Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

No judgment if you want to eat this goat cheese vegetable dip recipe spoonful. It's that good.

Chop whatever veg you've got in your fridge to make this soup.
