A light and creamy spring pea soup with fresh mint and coconut milk, perfect for a refreshing starter or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300 grams) fresh or frozen green peas
  • 1/4 cup (roughly 15 grams) fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) vegetable broth
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, drizzle of coconut milk, toasted pepitas

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Rinse the fresh mint leaves and pat dry. Set aside about 5 leaves for garnish.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Stir in the fresh or frozen peas, then pour in 2 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until peas are tender.
  4. Remove the pot from heat. Add the fresh mint leaves and 1 cup coconut milk to the pot. Use an immersion blender to puree until silky smooth. If using a traditional blender, carefully transfer in batches and blend until creamy.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with reserved mint leaves and a light drizzle of coconut milk.

Notes

Use fresh peas when possible for best flavor and texture. Add mint leaves just before blending to preserve their bright aroma. If soup is too thick, add more broth or coconut milk to reach desired consistency. Season gradually and adjust with lemon juice or salt as needed. Soup can be served warm or chilled. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days; stir before reheating.
