Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned peas (drained)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the canned peas and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Lower the heat and let the soup simmer for 7-8 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until creamy.
Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
For a warm serving, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh mint, if desired.
For a chilled version, allow the soup to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with mint just before serving.
