Thai Green Pea Blender Soup
Thai green pea blender soup
This is one of the quickest, tastiest most impressive soups I have EVER made with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients:
3 cups frozen peas, thawed
4 spring onions, roughly chopped
1 cup light coconut milk
8 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup fresh mint
2 cups reduced-salt vegetable stock
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp Thai green curry paste
Sliced chilli/toasted seasame seeds/fresh mint leaves/peas to garnish
To serve:
4 tbsp low fat plain yoghurt to serve (optional)
How to make:
In a large blender or food processor place peas, onions, coconut milk and ½ cup water and blend mixture until almost smooth.
Add baby spinach and fresh mint with half of the stock, and blend mixture until smooth.
In a large heavy-based pan set over medium, heat olive oil and add Thai green curry paste. Cook for 30 seconds. Add pea mixture and the remaining stock. Cook, stirring, for about 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
Divide the soup among four bowls. Top with extra mint leaves, peas, sliced chilli, fried onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Add a swirl of yoghurt, if desired.
