2 Bags Frozen Organic Peas
1 Medium Onion
2-3 TBS Ghee (you can substitute extra virgin olive oil if you prefer)
1 Handful of Fresh Mint
2 Cups Vegetable Stock
1/2-1 tsp Black Pepper
Pinch of Sea Salt
Directions:
Set out peas to thaw. Heat stove to medium and add ghee to your frying pan. Dice the onion and add it along with sea salt and pepper to pan, let cook for 7-10minutes. Add 1 1/2 bag of peas, fresh mint and veggie stock-add in just enough veggie stock so it covers the peas. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and place in blender. Quickly blend so soup has a slightly chunky consistency. Remove from blender and add in remaining 1/2 bag of peas. Place back on the stove and heat for 1-2 more minutes. Serves 4.
