Fresh Pea Soup
Fresh green peas, vegetable broth, non-dairy milk, potatoes, and plenty of fresh herbs are blended into an irresistibly smooth and creamy pot of pea soup. Naturally dairy-free and vegan.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups vegetable broth plus more, as needed
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 4 cups shelled fresh peas (about 2 pounds)
- 1 cup potatoes cubed
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh mint roughly chopped
- 1 whole lemon juiced
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large pot on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the extra-virgin olive oil, diced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until soft for around 5 minutes.
- Add fresh peas and potatoes and stir for 30 seconds to a minute to give it time to absorb all the flavors. Then add the vegetable broth and almond milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the mint, parsley, and basil and let the fresh herbs wilt for a minute.
- Use an immersion blender, or pour the soup into a standard blender, and blend until smooth. Depending on how thick you like your soup, you can add an extra cup of broth, a bit at a time, and keep blending.
- Taste and adjust for seasoning. If needed, reheat the soup in the pot until it's hot and steamy. Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice and stir well. Serve in individual bowls, and top it with some extra herbs.
