This delicate pea and mint soup is a British classic. Use fresh or frozen sweet peas to keep the colour a vibrant green and the flavours light and refreshing.

This also happens to be one of our favourite vegan soup recipes and is perfect as a starter for a dinner party, or by itself with bread or a side salad.

Pea and Mint Soup Ingredients

Peas

Frozen or fresh peas are fine, because most peas are snap frozen you won?t lose any taste or flavour.
Fresh Mint

I haven?t noticed a difference if you add the mint at the beginning or the end, so do as you wish, but be sure to use fresh mint leaves rather than dried for the vibrancy of flavour.

Shallots

I use shallots but yellow onion, red onion or spring onions also work well in this soup recipe, each lends the soup a slightly different flavour.
