Courgette, Pea & Mint Green Soup

The king of all green soups! If you are following me on Instagram you will see I’ve joined Kimberly from The Little Plantation for a month of food photography challenges. This week is all about green food, hence the green juice and green soup. Ending with green soup on Thursday!

Peas and I never used to get on. I hated the texture and I would pick them out of everything I could see them in. Burgers, curries, salads, I would dig them out carefully with my fork. But the past couple of years I have eaten them more regularly and the one recipe I made and loved was mushy peas.

I know you’re thinking they sound disgusting but they are so tasty with some mint, spinach and vegan butter. Everyone I make them for always has seconds. If you are a pea hater like I was, try it!

Pea and mint soup was an obvious choice for this challenge but it’s also a classic for a reason. I added some courgette and kale to give it extra depth and the end result is a light, creamy and addictive soup. Even my fussy nephew liked it, and that’s saying something!

As always if you make these super green soup be sure to leave me a comment, rate this recipe and tag me on Instagram. I love seeing all your photos of my recipe recreations!

Super healty courgette, pea and mint soup. Packed with antioxidants and so fresh.

Sauté the onion, garlic and celery in some vegetable oil on medium heat in a heavy bottom pan.

Once translucent, add the courgette and fry for 5 minutes.

Add the vegetable stock, kale and mint and bring to a simmer.

After 5 minutes, add the peas and continue to simmer for a couple of minutes until the peas are cooked. Season with salt and pepper.

Blitz with a handheld blender until you have the consistency you like (I like a bit of texture). Stir in the cream and serve.
