Creamy Pea Soup with Six Ingredients
Ingredients
- 500 gms fresh or frozen peas
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 4-5 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 15-20 fresh mint leaves
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 500 ml water, may need more
Garnish
- Coconut cream
- Roasted nuts
Preparation
Heat the oil in a medium size saucepan or pressure cooker.
Add the chopped garlic and onions, saute till translucent, about 3-4 minutes on medium heat.
Add the peas, dried oregano, mint leaves, salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add water, mix well and let it cook for 20-30 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and cooked through. If using a pressure cooker, let this cook for 2 whistles. Open the lid when the steam is completely released.
Allow the soup to cool a bit and then puree it till smooth. If the soup is too thick for you, add some more water to get the consistency you prefer.
Taste and adjust for seasoning. Garnish with some cream and nuts, serve hot. Enjoy!
