Add fennel powder, ginger powder, salt, mix well for few seconds and add peas to the spices
Mix well and add water and cook on a medium flame for 10 to 15 minutes, while stirring occasionally
On another pan I blanched spinach to add later while blending to get this nice green color
You can add with peas but the spices color will make this soup look brown
Allow the pea mixture to cool completely and blend in a mixer with blanched spinach till smooth
You can add warm water or more stock if you want it runny but this recipe will give you thick consistency soup
Trasfer the mixture into a deep nonstick pan , add more salt if needed, black pepper, lemon juice and some more water if needed
