Ingredients
  

  • - Green peas: 2 cups 480g
  • - Fresh mint leaves: ¼ cup 60g
  • - Olive oil: 2 tbsp 30ml
  • - Onion: 1 large finely chopped
  • - Garlic cloves: 2 minced
  • - Vegetable broth: 4 cups 950ml
  • - Salt: 1 tsp 5g
  • - Black pepper: ½ tsp 2.5g
  • - Lemon zest: From 1 lemon
  • - Coconut milk optional: ½ cup (120ml) for creaminess

Method
 

  1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Once hot, add the chopped onions. Sauté them for 3-4 minutes or until translucent.
  3. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring it doesn't burn.
  4. Now, pour in the fresh green peas, ensuring you get every last one!
  5. Let the green peas simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until they become tender. Your Vegan Green Pea and Mint Soup is halfway there.
  6. It's time for the vegetable broth. Slowly pour it in, mixing as you go.
  7. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
  8. Once the soup starts to boil, reduce the heat. Allow it to simmer for 10 minutes.
  9. After simmering, blend your Vegan Green Pea and Mint Soup until smooth. You can use a hand blender or a regular blender.
  10. If you prefer your soup a tad creamier, mix in the coconut milk. Heat for another 2-3 minutes.
  11. Last but definitely not least, fold in the fresh mint leaves. Stir for a minute and turn off the heat.

Notes

1. For an added protein kick, consider adding some cooked quinoa.
2. If you're not a fan of coconut milk, almond milk serves as a great substitute.
3. Always taste and adjust seasoning. Some prefer their Vegan Green Pea and Mint Soup spicier!
