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

Instructions

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