Vegan Spring Pea Soup Recipe
Dive into this light and filling vegan spring pea soup recipe.
Pea soup is a light but creamy snack that has a sweet taste with savory overtones. If you don’t feel spring in the air just yet, you most certainly will feel it in your tummy with each bite of this soup. Better yet, this pea soup recipe nixes any creams, butters or flours and instead focuses on the inherent starchiness and smoothness of the peas themselves.
While this recipe is simple in and of itself, you can go hog wild when it comes to garnish. The recipe suggests chopped chives, but feel free to add a dollop of vegan cheese, red pepper flakes, pea shoots or a variety of fresh herbs. The key is not to overwhelm the soup, as it is very subtle to begin with. If you want to avoid the coconut taste, replace the coconut oil with regular vegetable oil or vegan butter. Enjoy!
