Y’all, I’m just plain tickled pink ’bout today’s recipe! This very recipe turned me from a feller who’d give peas the cold shoulder to one who’s a downright pea fan. That’s how finger-lickin’ good it is!
I’ve never really been sweet on peas all that much and would always just pass ’em over or ask for a different side instead.
Now, it’s not like I despised ’em with every fiber of my being, I would chow down on them if they found their way onto my plate but I wouldn’t be caught dead orderin’ a pea dish in a restaurant.
But then this soup up and changed my perspective on them entirely.
I can’t take the credit for the recipe, m’boyfriend was the one who showed me this vegan creamy pea mint soup.
I was hesitant to give it a whirl cause I just figured it wouldn’t float my boat but, gracious sakes alive, was I wrong. It has become m’absolute favourite summer time soup. Ever.
It’s chilled, minty, refreshing and the coconut yoghurt makes it as creamy as can be! Plus, it turns out a beautiful lime green colour and y’all can whip it up in no time!

Creamy Vegan Pea Mint Soup Recipe
Preparation Time
15 minutes
Cooking Time
10 minutes
Total Time
25 minutes
Serving Size
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 1 small onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 400 g frozen peas
- 250 g unsweetened non-dairy yoghurt (I used coconut)
- 1 Tbsp vegan vegetable stock powder
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 big handful fresh mint leaves ( about 15 g)
Instructions
- Roughly chop the onion and peel the garlic cloves. Fry both in a drizzle of olive oil on medium to low heat until the onions go translucent and start caramelising. Leave the garlic cloves whole so they can brown on the outside but not overcook and still have a bit of a sharp kick.
- Add the frozen peas to the frying pan just to defrost them, you don’t need to cook or fry them.
- Add the onion, garlic, peas, non-dairy yoghurt, vegetable stock, lemon juice, pepper and mint leaves in a blender and blend with some water. Depending on how thick you’d like your soup to be, start with just a little water and add more until you have your desired consistency.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- You can heat up the soup in a sauce pan if you’d like to eat it hot. I recommend serving it chilled with a couple of ice cubes in each bowl and a sprinkle of mint leaves on top. Enjoy!
