Speedy broccoli and green peas soup
Background
I always have peas and broccoli florets in the freezer as they can be cooked without defrosting them first. This speedy broccoli and peas soup is vegan and super healthy, a perfect immune-booster all year round. Serve it with bread, pasta or rice.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 litre vegetable or chicken stock
- 750g frozen broccoli florets
- 300g frozen green peas
- 1 handful mint, basil or parsley
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the garlic until it softens.
- Pour the stock over and add the broccoli.
- Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 8 minutes.
- Add the green peas and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Turn off the the heat. Add your chosen herbs, then season to taste.
- Using a stick-blender, whiz until you get a smooth, silky soup.
- Serve warm.
