Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 piece onion peeled and finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 1 large potato peeled and diced into small cubes (or 2 smaller potatoes)
  • 300 grams peas fresh or frozen
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil for sautéing
  • to taste salt for seasoning
  • to taste pepper for seasoning
  • to taste fresh herbs such as parsley or lovage, for seasoning
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice for flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic cloves.
  2. Peel and dice the potato into small cubes.
Cooking
  1. In a pot, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and fry gently until translucent, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and peas to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped herbs to taste.
  4. Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and peas are fork-tender.
  5. Remove the pot from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  6. Using an immersion blender or a standard blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
Serving
  1. Serve hot, garnished with plant-based yogurt or cream, a drizzle of olive oil, thyme, chopped peanuts, or blanched peas if desired.

Notes

For a creamier texture, add a splash of plant-based milk before blending. Consider using freshly podded peas for a burst of flavor and fresh herbs like mint or dill for a vibrant finish.
