Spring Eats: Simple Pea Soup with Sauteed Radishes

The spring has come to Berlin! We are enjoying sunny weather and the first delicate green leaves. And some spring meals full of vegetables. This colourful pairing of pea soup and sauteed radishes makes a lovely fast dinner that comes together in about 10 minutes.

The radishes lose their pungency through the cooking and become wonderfully mild. The recipe for the radishes is here - just substitute oil or vegan margarine for the butter. Now, the soup.
