Ingredients
2teaspoonsoil of choice, or water to make oil free
1mediumonion, chopped finely
3 clovesgarlic, chopped finely
7 cups (32 oz/ 900grams)frozen green peas
2 cups (480ml)vegetable stock
creamy non-dairy milk or more broth, to thin
1½teaspoonsea salt, or to taste
½teaspoonblack pepper, or to taste
Optional
1big handfulfresh mint leaves
INSTRUCTIONS
Warm the oil in a soup pan over a medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 6 until transluscent, then add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
Pour in the still frozen peas and the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Allow to cook until the peas have defrosted then turn off the heat.
Transfer to a blender, add the optional mint then blend until completely smooth, before returning to the pan. Or use an immersion blender right in the pan, although I don't recommend this if you added the optional mint. A blender will do a better job in that case.
Add some creamy non-dairy milk or more stock to thin to the consistency you like your soup, then add plenty of salt and pepper.
Place over medium heat and allow to heat through before serving.
NOTES
Success tip - Don't cook this soup for too long. If you let it simmer longer than needed you lose the lovely vibrant green pea colour.Storage - Store leftover vegan green pea soup in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in a pan on the stove or in a microwave.
