Ingredients:

1 tbsp ginger root
16g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup peas
60g
2 cups coconut milk
460g
1/3 cup vegetable broth
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by peeling and finely mincing the ginger root.
- Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
- If using fresh peas, give them a quick rinse. If using frozen peas, allow them to thaw slightly.
2. Cook the Aromatics:
- In a medium-sized pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced ginger and garlic to the pot.
- Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic and ginger are fragrant but not browned.
3. Combine and Simmer:
- Add the peas to the pot and stir to combine with the garlic and ginger.
- Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
4. Simmer the Soup:
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Stir occasionally to prevent the soup from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
5. Blend the Soup:
- Once the peas are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

6. Season and Serve:
- Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If the soup is too thick, you can add a little more vegetable broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve the green coconut soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or mint, if desired.

Tips:

- Use fresh ginger root and garlic for the best flavor. Mince them finely to ensure they blend well into the soup.

- For a smoother texture, consider blending the soup after cooking to create a creamy consistency.

- To add some protein, you can incorporate tofu or chickpeas.

- Finish with a squeeze of lime and fresh cilantro for added brightness and freshness.

- Control the thickness by adjusting the amount of vegetable broth to your desired consistency.

Green coconut soup is a delightful and easy-to-make dish that can cater to various dietary preferences. Its combination of creamy coconut milk with the freshness of peas and the zing of ginger makes it a comforting yet exciting meal. With the right ingredients and a few helpful tips, you'll have a delicious soup that's sure to impress.
