Ingredients
  

  • Zucchini: 2 large about 500g [1.1 lbs]
  • Fresh green peas: 1 cup about 150g [5.3 oz]
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons 30ml [1 oz]
  • Onion: 1 medium chopped
  • Garlic cloves: 3 minced
  • Vegetable broth: 4 cups 950ml [32 oz]
  • Fresh mint leaves: 10 chopped
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon 5g [0.17 oz]
  • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon 2.5g [0.09 oz]

Method
 

  1. Begin by washing the zucchini and peas under cold running water. Once rinsed, dice the zucchini into medium-sized chunks. 2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in your chopped onion. Sauté until it turns translucent.
  2. Introduce the minced garlic to the pot, and let it cook for a minute or two until fragrant.
  3. In goes your Vegan Zucchini and Pea Soup stars: the diced zucchini and peas. Give them a good stir, letting them mingle with the onion and garlic.
  4. Pour the vegetable broth into the pot, ensuring all the veggies are submerged.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, then bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to simmer.
  6. Allow your Vegan Zucchini and Pea Soup to simmer gently for about 20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.
  7. Stir in the fresh mint leaves, reserving a few for garnishing later.
  8. Using a blender or hand mixer, blend the soup until it’s creamy and smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can pulse a few times.

Notes

TIPS
1. For an added touch of creaminess, consider blending in a dollop of coconut milk after you’ve pureed the soup.
2. Want a bit of a spicy kick? Add a pinch of red chili flakes during the simmering process.
3. Vegan Zucchini and Pea Soup is flexible! Feel free to toss in other veggies you may have on hand, like spinach or kale.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
  • Ladle your Vegan Zucchini and Pea Soup into bowls, garnishing with those reserved mint leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Serve with a side of toasted, crusty bread. Perfect for dipping!
  • Considering a salad? A fresh, leafy green salad with a lemon vinaigrette complements the soup’s flavors beautifully.
