Minty Peas Soup: Delicious & Comforting

This minty Peas soup is easy to make, bursting with flavours and super healthy too. It is a win-win from every angle if you ask me!

It is back to being rainy and lovely in Bangalore. That means it is perfect weather for soup. We are turning to this Minty Peas Soup this evening.

Aren’t soups meal the best? Easy, comforting and nutritious. The interesting thing about this minty peas soup that it can be both a hot and cold soup. It’s perfect for those summer evenings or even winter nights.

Made with very few basic garden fresh or even frozen ingredients. The base of the soup is sauteed onion and garlic. Then comes the peas and a few mint leaves. Once it’s all cooked, puree the entire soup or a part of it, check for seasoning and finally garnish with some toasted melon seeds. It gives that perfect crunch element to the soup.

And those who said they are missing my COVID journal, today’s update is that I want PMS to be named as something else during lockdown. PMS doesn’t seem enough. It doesn’t seem to convey what the body and mind are going through. I could say more but I guess that is enough for today. And oh for those who don’t like the text before the recipe, I now have Jump to Recipe right at the start of the post. So next time someone cribs about the endless story we bloggers right, I will unleash my lockdown PMSy self on them.

 If you make this,  share a picture with me on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook? I would love to hear what you have to say about it.
