Green Pea Soup
• Blending while hot creates a naturally creamy texture without dairy. • Mint adds a fresh, bright flavor that complements peas well. • Soup thickens as it cools, so add water or broth when reheating if needed. Health Benefits: Green peas provide plant-based protein and fiber that support satiety, gut health, and steadier blood sugar response. Potatoes contribute resistant starch and potassium that support digestive and metabolic health, while mint and lemon add antioxidants and digestive-supporting compounds.
