    WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS OF GREEN PEA AND MINT SOUP

    as the name suggests, the green peas and mint are the star ingredients in this recipe. If the fresh hulled peas are readily available, do use them. Otherwise you can even use frozen peas. If using frozen, I like to use the Petite Green Pea variety as they tend to be little sweeter and tender than the regular peas. WE also use onions and garlic as aromatics and usual suspects of salt and pepper as flavor enhancers. To round up the flavors, add a good squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.

    HOW TO MAKE GREEN PEAS AND MINT SOUP

    To make this refreshing Green Pea and Mint Soup, we first cook the onion and garlic till they sizzle. Then add peas, mint, vegetable broth and salt and pepper.

    If you are using InstantPot, you presure cook it for 4 minutes. If you are using the Dutch oven, you let it simmer for about ten minutes till the peas are tender and soft.

    After it’s done cooking, you blend the mixture to smooth puree. I like to blend the soup using immersion blender. If you want to blend it in upright blender, make sure it cools down well before you blend it.

    The soup will thicken substantially over time. So use some water or broth when you reuse it. It freezes pretty well and can be a good meal prep option too. The soup is satisfying and filling.

    This soup reminds me of Gazpacho ( yet another beautiful and delicious summer soup) . It can be served either warm or cold. I personally like it slightly chilled with the side of crusty bread and hearty fresh salad.

    A few Kitchen Tricks To Make It Hearty And Velvety Creamy Soup

    InstantPot :
    I am using InstantPot to make this delicious soup. You won’t believe how easy and convenient it is to use InstantPot and whip up this soup. Practically a dump and go recipe, this soup actually tastes like it’s simmered for hours. 

    Immersion Blender
    To make thicker soup, I prefer to use Immersion Blender. Beauty of Immersion blender is that you can blend it as much as your desired consistency. Also, you can immersion blend it while the soup is still warm eliminating the need to wait for it cool down and reheat ( unlike traditional blenders )
