I just made this super fresh, incredibly tasty, unbelievably healthy soup the other day. It was so easy and fast I plan to make it again this week! (and have been looking at my calendar tyring to find a date just so I can invite friends over to make it for them too!).
This is truly the perfect late spring/early summer soup!

Spring Pea & Basil Soup (Vegan & Gluten Free)

Ingredients

• 5 cups water
• 4 cups organic peas (I used frozen but fresh works too!)
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 cup loosely packed of fresh basil (plus a few sprigs for garnish)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 clove garlic, chopped
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil over medium heat
2. Sauté garlic and onion
3. Add the peas and cook for 4 minutes
4. Add the water, salt and pepper and bring to a boil
5. Lower the heat and cover. Cook for 8 minutes or until the peas are tender
6. Add the basil and using an immersion blender, puree until very smooth
7. Enjoy!

Note: If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender. Blend a few cups at a time, being careful not to splash hot soup!
