Pea Soup with Mint

I know, it may sound like a really weird combination, especially for a vegan dish, but it work!
It’s a fresh, summery dish of a winter classic.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red onion, peeled, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled, crushed
  • 750 g frozen peas
  • 40 g mint, stems removed
  • 1 liter vegetable stock
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper

Recipe:

  • Put a big, deep pan on medium-high heat, add the onion and oil, and fry until the onion softens
  • Add the garlic, and stir non-stop for ~30 seconds
  • Add 500 g of the peas, along with the stock and the mint
  • Bring to a boil and gently simmer for about 10 minutes
  • Take a stickblender and puree the fuck out of the soup ’till it’s nice and smooth
  • Add the remaining peas, and cook for another 5-10 minutes

Enjoy!
