Super Green Pea & Mint Soup
Super healthy – green pea & mint soup! Full of plant proteins and really easy to make. A great way to get in the green goodness.
I have been making this Super Green Pea & Mint soup for years now and it’s still one of my favourites. It’s super healthy, full of plant proteins and really easy to make. Plus, I love the vivid green colour. You just know it’s good for you!
The great thing about this soup is that you can throw in any additional green veggies you want and it will taste delicious like pea and mint. I love this as the more additional veg I can add in, the better so I can really ramp up the green goodness.
I particularly like to add in spinach, courgette and sugar snap peas (for a pea super charge!) however, green beans and leftover lettuce also work really well.
This soup is really wholesome and satisfying, a perfect for winter lunch.
Ingredients
- 2 onions chopped roughly
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves grated
- 1 courgette chopped
- 2 cups sugar snap peas chopped
- 1 tbsp vegetable stock I use vegan Swiss bouillon
- 1.5 pints of water
- 500 g/3 cups frozen peas
- 2 handfuls of spinach
- Handful mint
For the toppings
- Tahini dressing
- Coconut cream or yogurt
- Pine nuts
- Fresh mint
Instructions
- Place the onions & olive oil into a saucepan and fry for 5 minutes until soft.
- Add the garlic, courgette and sugar snap peas and fry for 2 minutes.
- Next, add the bouillon to a pint of boiling water, stir and add to the saucepan. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer.
- Throw in the peas and the spinach–when the spinach has wilted, take off the heat and add the mint, salt and pepper.
- Blitz with a hand blender or food processor until smooth.
- Delicious served with tahini dressing, or coconut cream, pine nuts and sourdough or flatbread.
