Instructions

Add the frozen peas and vegetable stock and increase the heat to medium-high. Simmer for 5-8 minutes.
Add the fresh mint to the mixture, and blend until smooth. See Notes 3 and 4.
Season with salt and pepper and fresh lemon juice.
Serve warm or chilled, with a garnish of your choice.
Notes
In Australia, the tablespoon is 20 ml or 4 teaspoons. In many other countries, the tablespoon is 15 ml or 3 teaspoons. You may have to adjust your measurements accordingly.
Adjust the seasoning to your liking – we recommend using freshly ground black pepper and sea salt flakes for the best flavour.
If you do use a blender for hot liquids, you must be careful. You will need to remove the central cap in the blender lid and then cover the lid with a folded tea towel to let the steam escape. Hold the lid on securely and blend on a low speed. This will allow steam to escape so that it doesn’t build up. Not doing this can pose a risk that soup may overflow out of the blender.
If you prefer a thinner soup, add an additional ½ cup of vegetable stock.
Please note, the nutritional information is based on the recipe making approximately 4 cups. One cup is equal to 250ml. This does not include the garnish you serve with the recipe. The nutritional information is an estimate only.
