How to Make It
Alright, let’s plunge into making this cozy bowl of Vegan Pea Soup magic. Grab your 500 grams of frozen peas and cover them with boiling water—because nobody’s got time to wait for water to heat up on its own, right?
Pop that pot back on the heat and bring it all to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for a bit so the peas get nice and tender, soaking up all that hot water goodness. This soup is basically like giving your peas a warm plant-based hug.
Now, sprinkle in a teaspoon of sea salt and two teaspoons of your favorite bouillon or stock powder—this is where the flavor party really kicks off. If you’re feeling fancy or want to sneak in a bit of golden glow, toss in some turmeric to taste, as it’s known for its comforting flavor profile in various dishes.
Blend everything up until it’s smoother than a vegan latte foam. Then comes the secret weapon: 20 grams of pea protein. Throw that powder in and blend again until it disappears like a ninja in the night, making your soup extra hearty and protein-packed.
And voilà, you’ve got yourself a bowl of green goodness that’s as kind to the planet as it’s to your taste buds.
