Pea, Coconut, and Mint Soup



When a lighter dinner is desired, this  refreshing soup is tasty and satisfying. The peas, mint, and baby spinach give the soup a delicate colour. While the coconut cream keeps me thinking of warmer weather. The soup is beautiful served hot or chilled.

Ingredients:

2 medium onions, chopped
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 cups baby peas
A handful of fresh mint leaves
6 cups water
2 stock cubes
400 ml coconut cream
2 large handfuls baby spinach
Salt and pepper to season

In a medium pot sauté the onions and garlic together on a low heat until the onions are translucent. 
Add the peas, mint, water, and stock cubes and bring to the boil.
Let the soup simmer for 5 minutes before turning off the heat.
Add the coconut cream and baby spinach.
Using a hand blender, blend the soup until smooth (no hand blender? Cool the mixture and blend it in a food processor or blender instead).
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
