Green Pea Spinach Cream Soup

Soup for me is a cozy home, a consolation prize, a dish that warms the stomach and the atmosphere and connects the diners. Soup is one of my favorite dishes in any form: creamy, clear, with chunks of vegetables, thick, thin, hot, cold – you name it! It’s true that in the ‘orphanages’ books genre, you come across the term ‘muddy soup. However, one must be super creative, with a twisted mind – like the bad guys in ‘Oliver Twist, ‘Tom Sawyer’ and such to ruin a soup.

Bottom line: anyone can make a delicious and nutritious soup. You can’t miss it!

When it comes to Green Pea soup, I am an avid consumer of both versions: dried and fresh (or frozen.

In this recipe, we use frozen green pea which is quick to cook, available, and gives the soup a bright green color.
Start by steaming chopped onion, adding minced garlic, celery and spinach, green pea, and finally boiling water and seasoning. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook for only five minutes—the shorter the cooking time, the brighter green the soup is. Next, grind the soup with a stick blender, add your favorite toppings such as whole green peas, vegan sour cream, coconut milk, croutons, or parmesan. Serve with bread or baguette.
