pea and peppermint soup.
I love this soup. It’s nourishing, easy, and unique. The combination of fresh peppermint, sweet green peas, egg, green onion and the addition of ginger and cinnamon, makes this soup perfect for a cold day, for pregnancy, cold and flu season and it’s quick enough for new mums!
I found it in the Vegetarian Mother’s Cookbook: Whole Foods to Nourish Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women—and Their Families.
The book was decent, but had a lot of brown rice forward recipes. So it seemed a bit dated in that sense. I never use brown rice but opt for other whole grains like millet, quinoa, and barley. But I did find this little gem of a recipe. I wish I’d had it for my pregnancy, because I really couldn’t keep much down for the first few months but some eggs and simple foods.
Pea and Peppermint Soup
Ingredients:
- 4 cups vegetable broth (I like Trader Joe’s low sodium organic broth)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
- 3 green onions, diced
- 1/2 cup tightly packed peppermint, chopped
- 2 tsp tamari
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten with a touch of water
That soup looks really good! I might try it and add beans too. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds like a good idea! Let me know if you add the beans and which ones 🙂
I love the new look of your website by the way. Awesome job!
Thank you kindly.
Looks good! You always seem to cook the most delicious things–SO flavorful, and also beautiful. I’m always a little jealous when I see your food posts that I still haven’t gotten back into the swing of cooking nice dinners since having Fae. You get me motivated though.
GC, love to hear that! I feel like it took me forever to get back into the kitchen, and I just love to cook. I also didn’t really cook at all during my pregnancy, so it was a long time coming!
Yum! This sounds delicious!!! With all those ingredients already in my pantry I know exactly what’s on the menu tomorrow, thanks! 🙂
lovely! it’s so simple, and I love the fresh peppermint in there!
I have to try this! Peas and peppermint sound yummy!
Totally is! And the green onions make it shine.
mmm looks yummy!
