Green Pea Soup

My 24th recipe, “Green Pea Soup”, a healthy soup to recharge you up and get you going for the last week of the year. On a cold winter morning, there is nothing more comforting than a cozy couch and a bowl of warm green pea soup. It would pack you with all the essential proteins and vitamins needed, and keep you and your family strong and healthy for long. A bowl of soup a day, keeps the doctor away 🙂 Will help your tummy recover from all the sugar attack from Christmas and get ready for the New year bash 😀

Notes | FAQ

- After chopping the onions, wash it in cold water. This will remove the pungent flavor of the onion.
- I used frozen green peas. If using dry peas, you might have to soak it overnight.
- Do not try to blend/grind the mixture when hot. It would splash all around your room.
- Do not blend/grind the soup to a fine paste. Taste will not be good. Use only the pulse option to get a chunky soup.
- Topping with pine nuts is optional. You can use any other nuts you can get your hands on.
- Adjust water quantity based on how thick or thin you like your soup to be.
