Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
