Instructions
Creating Minted Pea Soup is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add Peas: Stir in the peas, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
3. Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the peas to become tender.
4. Blend Soup: Remove the pot from heat. Add the fresh mint leaves and blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or a countertop blender.
5. Season: Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in salt, pepper, and optional lemon juice to enhance the flavors.
6. Reheat (if necessary): Gently reheat the soup for a few minutes on low if it has cooled down too much.
7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream, if desired.
