Green pea cream soup
Ingredients
- 200 g peas fresh or frozen
- 200 g potatoes
- 100 g sweet potatoes
- 100 g onion
- 100 ml cooking cream or a vegan alternative
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 700 ml 700 ml water
- Fresh mint
- Fennel seed
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel, wash and cut the vegetables into pieces. Sweet potatoes need less time to cook than regular potatoes. Make sure you cut them into bigger pieces, so both types will need similar time to get soft.
- Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan, add the chopped onions, and cook them until soft. Add fennel seed, pepper, and salt. After 30-60 seconds, add potatoes, and warm water (start with 500 ml and decide later if more is needed) and let them simmer on low-medium heat for 20 minutes.
- Add the peas and cook the soup for another 5 to 10 minutes. Check if the potatoes are soft. Add fresh mint and cream (alternative almond/cashew butter).
- Purée with a blender until silky smooth.
