Green Pea Soup
serves 2 ~ $1.70 per serving
Peas are usually associates with the spring garden, but a second fall planting can produce lots of pods … which is exactly what happened around here. Not all peas are created equal. There are “snap peas,” which have edible pods, and “shell peas,” which have inedible pods and the larger peas inside are the parts used. This recipe calls for shelled peas, which can be fresh or frozen. Frozen peas will work really well, though they may not be raw.
ingredients
- 2 cups peas ($1.75)
- 1 avocado ($1.49)
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk ($.70)
- 1 small onion ($.15)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
directions
- Set
aside a half cup of the peas. - In a blender, puree the rest of the peas, avocado, almond milk, and salt and pepper until very smooth.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour in bowls and top with the reserved peas and minced onion.

Hello! I’m Lisa, a vegan artist, photographer, author, Vegan Life Coach Educator, and RYT 200 yoga teacher. I love showing others how simple and delicious a plant-based diet can be. I draw and paint, cook, write, take lots of pics, eat lots of chocolate, and practice gratitude daily.
I made this too! Try substituting Veggie broth with Miso and Bragg's Amino acid for some of the liquid and salt. Yummy!
I MADE THE SOUP, Anonymous. And it was great! Even my husband (who is no raw food enthusiast) enjoyed it, saying the green onions I chopped for the add-in MADE it! We will eat this again…and again…and again. 🙂
Did you use the peas right after shelling, or did you need to soak them first?
Why do people who HAVE NOT MADE the recipe COMMENT?
MAKE the recipe and then comment, otherwise, WHAT IS THE POINT?
This soup looks so good. I am a now following you. I would love it if you visited me and folled back. I'm vegan/vegetarian/ gluten free.Some recipes are raw.
Oh, how lovely! I've been trying to think of new ways to use avocado to convince me to like it more, and I think this will work perfectly 🙂
As always that looks tasty. Beautiful photo too!!
Looks delicious! Sounds dreamy with the avocado!
I was thinking of making a soup tomorrow and your recipe came right in time. Thanks for the sharing.
I love the simplicity in this! And I can pretty much taste the recipe just by looking at that gorgeous photo 😀
