Ingredients & Inspiration
When creating this recipe I wanted a protein-packed soup that not only tasted really damn good, but was also easy to make with minimal (and wholesome!) ingredients. After some tweaking I finally figured it all out with this Super Green Pea Soup! Using 5 core ingredients plus a few others, this soup comes together in 20 minutes, making it a great healthy weeknight meal or high-protein addition to your weekly meal prep.
If the ridiculously bright green colour is a little off-putting to you (as it was to my hubby when he first saw it) I promise you it doesn’t taste as ‘super green’ as it looks! It honestly just tastes like a good old fashioned pea soup! Very savoury, earthy and delicious.
What you’ll need:
- onion & garlic
- fresh herbs
- frozen peas & edamame
- fresh spinach or kale
- spices
- veggie broth
How to Make Super Green Pea Soup
Making Super Green Pea Soup is as easy as dump, heat, blend… not kidding! It’s the perfect meal for when the motivation to cook is low and the hunger is high.
- Sauté the onion and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chopped fresh herbs and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the frozen peas, edamame, chili flakes, salt and veggie broth, cover and bring to a boil. Lower temp to medium-low and cook for 6 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh spinach or kale, letting it wilt for 2 minutes.
- Blend the soup using either an immersion blender directly in the pot or ladling the soup into a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth then transfer back to the pot.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then top with plant-based sour cream, avocado and extra chili flakes. Enjoy hot!
Mean Green Protein Machine
I can’t tell you how many times this Super Green Pea Soup has saved me from ordering takeout on Uber Eats. I pretty much always happen to have all the core ingredients to make it, as they’re staple ingredients in my fridge and freezer most weeks anyway (frozen peas, edamame, fresh greens)!
