It’s one of my favourite soups and it couldn’t be easier to make. This recipe requires 8 simple ingredients and comes together in just 30 minutes. So, let me show you how it's done. Grab a spoon and come and cook with me!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 8
Ingredients:
7 cups frozen peas
7 cups vegetable stock (See Notes below)
1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup mint leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
Store-bought or homemade croutons, drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of pea shoot microgreens, as garnish
Instructions:
In a large stockpot, bring 7 cups of vegetable stock to a boil and add the frozen peas. Cook for 4 minutes and then turn off the heat. Set aside to cool.
To a small skillet set over medium heat, add the olive oil, shallot and salt. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the shallots are translucent and have softened. Then, add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Once the peas and vegetable stock have cooled, add the shallot mixture, mint and pepper to the stockpot. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. If you are using a stand blender, you may need to blend the soup in 2 batches, given the sheer volume of ingredients.
Bring the soup to a boil and then turn down the heat and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Portion out the soup into individual bowls and garnish with store-bought or homemade croutons, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of pea shoot microgreens. Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
I Don’t Have Vegetable Stock On-Hand?: If you don't have vegetable stock in your pantry, refrigerator or freezer, you can simply substitute it with vegetable bouillon cubes and water.
