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 fresh peas shelled (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 juice only
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large pot on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the extra-virgin olive oil, chopped onion, and 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.
- Blend until smooth using an immersion blender or standard blender. Adjust thickness with extra broth if desired.
- Taste and adjust for seasoning. If needed, reheat the soup until hot and add the lemon juice.
