Pea, Coconut, and Mint Soup

When a lighter dinner is desired, this refreshing soup is tasty and satisfying. The peas, mint, and baby spinach give the soup a delicate colour. While the coconut cream keeps me thinking of warmer weather. The soup is beautiful served hot or chilled.

Ingredients:

2 medium onions, chopped

1 tbsp minced garlic

2 cups baby peas

A handful of fresh mint leaves

6 cups water

2 stock cubes

400 ml coconut cream

2 large handfuls baby spinach

Salt and pepper to season

In a medium pot sauté the onions and garlic together on a low heat until the onions are translucent.

Add the peas, mint, water, and stock cubes and bring to the boil.

Let the soup simmer for 5 minutes before turning off the heat.

Add the coconut cream and baby spinach.

Using a hand blender, blend the soup until smooth (no hand blender? Cool the mixture and blend it in a food processor or blender instead).

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
