Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 4 cups frozen sweet peas
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute to release their flavors.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Add the frozen sweet peas to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the peas are tender and bright green.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a countertop blender, work in batches to avoid overfilling.
Stir in the lemon juice, coconut milk, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Return the pot to low heat to warm the soup through, being careful not to let it boil.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired. Serve immediately.
