Vegan Minted Pea Soup

 

 This soup is quick, easy and tastes like spring. Last year I made it all the time with frozen peas and fresh mint from the balcony.

 Minted Pea Soup

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 onion, diced

2 - 3 cloves garlic

1 medium potato, diced

4 cups veggie stock

4 cups frozen green peas

1/2 tahini

Salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot over medium heat, cook onions in olive oil until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Add potato and stock and simmer until potato is soft, 8 - 10 minutes. Add peas and cook for 2 minutes. Take off heat and add tahini. Using an immersion blender, blend soup until smooth (You can also use a regular blender and add soup in batches - just be careful it doesn't explode everywhere like in my kitchen!). Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
