Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Thoroughly wash the spinach leaves and set them aside to drain.
- Chop the onions and mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they become translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Stir in the fresh peas and pour in the 3 cups of chicken gravy.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the peas are cooked and tender.
- Add the spinach leaves to the pot and let them cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can let the soup cool slightly and then blend it in batches in a countertop blender.
- Season the soup with a dash of salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Ladle the fresh pea soup into bowls. Optionally, you can garnish with a drizzle of cream, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or croutons.
Tips:
- Use fresh peas for the best flavor, but if they are not available, frozen peas work just as well.
- To make the soup vegetarian or vegan, substitute the chicken gravy with vegetable broth.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency.
- Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper or some fresh herbs like parsley or mint for added flavor and presentation.
- For a creamier version, consider adding a splash of cream or coconut milk towards the end of cooking.
This Fresh Pea Soup with Spinach and Garlic is not only easy to prepare but also packed with nutrients and flavor. It's a fantastic way to enjoy a bowl of wholesome goodness. Serve it with a slice of crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
