Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen green peas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (optional for creaminess)
  • Fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon)
  • Crème fraîche or yogurt, for serving

Мethod of preparation

Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions become translucent and fragrant. Stir in the green peas and cook for a few minutes until they are heated through.

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes or until the peas are tender. Add the fresh mint leaves, reserving a few for garnish, and season with salt and pepper.

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. For a thinner consistency, you can add more broth.

Stir in the cream or coconut milk (if using) and fresh lemon juice for a touch of brightness. Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of crème fraîche or yogurt and additional mint leaves.
