Enjoy a fresh bowl of ‘peas’ on earth with this delicious plant based chilled green pea soup recipe! 🫛🍲👩🏻🍳
I had the best time cooking this recipe, inspired by the late Michelin star Chef Charlie Trotter, but I made it Garden of Eydie approved without adding any salt, oil, or sugar! Peas are at their peak of sweetness right now and are so delicious in this fresh chilled soup recipe. Doesn’t that sound delicious? 😋
Peas are tiny but mighty, full of fiber, protein and vitamins, yet low in calories. Mint brightens the flavor of this soup while the tomato adds another layer of sweetness and the avocado adds a delicate richness.
This beautiful soup makes for an elegant first course or lunch with friends, and pairs perfectly with my Yellow Tomato Soup Sorbet recipe... Coming Soon! 👀
Here are the ingredients for this Chilled Green Pea Soup:
For the Soup:🫛
