Pea and Mint Soup

 

The essentials:

Ingredients:

• 1 small white onion
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 large handfuls of mint
• 900g frozen peas
• 1 litre water/vegetable stock
• 30g pine nuts
• Salt and pepper

Serves 4

 

Method:

Heat the coconut oil in a large pan on medium heat.

Chop up the onion and fry in the oil until soft.

Add the peas and water/stock and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add the mint.

Take off the heat and blend with a hand blender until smooth.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Toast the pine nuts by putting them into a frying pan – no oil needed as they produce their own natural oils! Toss them around until golden brown (this only takes a couple of minuets) sprinkle them onto your soup to add a crunch.

 

A little bit extra:

 

This soup is so fresh tasting, great for an English summer evening to go with your BBQ.

Mint is great for soothing your stomachs in cases of indigestion or inflammation.
