Easy Green Pea Soup Recipe – Quick, Simple and VERY Green

Now this green pea soup is a bit of a revelation.

It’s so quick and easy to make, yet is a taste sensation AND it’s really good for you.

All good stuff with no naughties at all.

And it’s so very vibrant green. Who could resist? 

Ingredients

1 small onion

1 tbs olive oil

2 cups vegetable stock (or chicken if you are not vegetarian)

4 cups frozen peas (approx 500g)

salt and pepper

Method

1. Chop onion and saute until soft in olive oil.

2. Add stock and peas to pan and simmer for 10 minutes.

3. Blend with stick blender until VERY smooth.

4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Scoff with brown bread and butter.

Next time I will add in some mint as the soup simmers, I think.

I made mine in the Thermomix, even simpler. And served it in a pretty mug.

Who could resist, did I ask?

My younger three children, that’s who!!

They are not very adventurous, but if I keep persisting then surely, eventually…..

* Peas are both vegetables and legumes

* They are high in vitamins C and K and the B vitamins

* High in manganese, magnesium, iron, zinc and potassium.

* Peas have lots of fibre, great for the gut

* High in cancer-fighting antioxidants which are also excellent for eye health
