Mint Pea Soup is a simple yet flavorful dish that brings together the natural sweetness of green peas and the refreshing aroma of mint. Its creamy texture and vibrant green color make it perfect for a light main course or an appetizer. This recipe keeps things straightforward, using a handful of easy-to-find ingredients and quick cooking methods, making it approachable even for beginner cooks.
The soup’s flavor is both comforting and fresh. Sweet peas are complemented by the gentle warmth of bay leaves and cinnamon, adding a subtle depth that doesn’t overpower. Coconut milk enhances the creamy consistency while keeping the dish light and dairy-free. Fresh mint ties everything together with its bright, cooling finish, making this soup especially appealing on warmer days or when you crave something refreshing.
Adaptability is one of the recipe’s strengths. It’s naturally gluten-free, soy-free, and can be made oil-free by using vegetable broth instead of oil for sautéing. Whether you’re preparing a quick meal or planning ahead, this soup works well for meal prep, as it reheats beautifully and can even be stored in the freezer for future meals.
Using frozen peas makes the recipe quick and convenient, as they don’t need defrosting before cooking. Fresh mint is key to achieving a vibrant flavor, while the aromatics add complexity. You can easily adjust the consistency by adding more or less water, and a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving adds a subtle, tangy brightness to round out the flavors.
Serve the soup on its own for a light meal or pair it with crusty bread or crackers for something more filling. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprig of mint for a simple, elegant touch. This recipe yields about 3-4 portions but can easily be doubled if needed, making it just as suitable for family meals as it is for larger gatherings.
