Green Pea and Mint Soup

A delightful celebration of spring, this Green Pea and Mint Soup is a favourite in the UK and across Europe for its lively colour and refreshing taste. Peas, rich in vitamin C, protein, and fibre, support digestive health, while mint provides a herbal freshness that may aid digestion. This soup is both economical and quick to prepare, embodying the essence of spring with every spoonful.

  • What you need:

    • 4 tbsp butter  
    • 4 green onions, chopped  
    • 450 g green peas (fresh or frozen)

    • 3 tbsp fresh mint, chopped  
    • 600 ml milk  
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste  
    • A pinch of sugar (optional)  
    • 120 ml light whipping cream  
    • Fresh mint sprigs for garnish  
    • Additional water for desired consistency 

  • How to do it:
