Finnish Summer Soup

Anna made this soup for us when we visited the lake house last summer. The 2 grocery stores in town were selling fresh peas, raspberries and strawberries and when I asked what they usually do with the peas she said they were for this soup.

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 4 cups broth
  • 1/4 cup white wine
