This vegan pea soup is super creamy and only uses 8 ingredients. It's made from frozen peas, coconut milk, and cilantro for flavor. Simple but flavorful soup recipe.

To make this soup you'll need a high-speed blender or immersion blender and a few simple ingredients. If you don't have either, you can use a food processor to blend. This recipe is quite straightforward and quick to make.

INGREDIENTS IN THIS VEGAN PEA SOUP

Onion and garlic: For flavor. Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder.

Green peas: Use frozen peas. If using fresh peas cooking time might be a bit longer.

Vegetable stock cube: To substitute use vegetable broth or stock, but in that case reduce the amount of water. Another good substitute is miso paste.

Coconut milk: Use full-fat canned coconut milk. Using full-fat milk will contribute to a very rich texture.

Fresh cilantro: It´s important to use fresh cilantro for flavor.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE PERFECTLY

Make sure to blend until creamy. If you don't have an immersion blender use a regular blender. My container is big enough for the whole batch. This saves me some time. If your container is smaller, pour it into a blender in batches, until everything is thick and creamy.

Use full-fat coconut milk for the right texture.

Fresh cilantro is essential for the right flavor. If you absolutely can't stand cilantro, switch up the herbs. In that case, use basil or parsley.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in a fridge for up to 3-4 days. Or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
