I love soup, but with the summer coming, it can sometimes feel a little too warm for something hot. So, I’ve decided to work on a recipe for a yummy vegan soup, which still taste just as good cold! Infused with mint flavours and garden peas, it’s a gentle taste for the tastebuds. It is also a very simple recipe, so if you feel like something quick and easy, please read on.
Serves: 2 Prep time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 onion
1 tsp butter alternative
250g frozen garden peas
250ml water
1 vegetable stock cube
95g silken tofu
7-9 mint leaves
Method:
Slice the onion, then place it into a pan to fry with a tbsp of butter. Let this cook till the onion is nice and tender. Add your stock cube to the pan and lower the heat allowing it to simmer gently. Add the mint leaves and let it to simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Once this have been simmering for a good while, add the garden peas. After this simmers on a low heat for 10 minutes, remove all the mint leaves that are in the pan and place to the side (these will no longer be used).
Add 195g of silken tofu into a blender and blend until smooth. You do not want any lumps. Once smooth, add the rest of your mixture from the pan into the blend it all together. This should be a smooth green puree, which will need to be transferred into a bowl or jug and stored in the fridge till cold.
Once the soup has been chilled, pour it into two bowls and decorate it with chopped mint and soy yogurt (option).
