Equipment
- 1 large saucepan Choose one that's deep enough to hold all the soup.
- 1 Stirring Spoon Ideally wooden
- 1 Hand Blender To blend the soup until it's smooth. You can also use a stand blender, but be careful when transferring hot liquids.
- 1 Knife for chopping the kale
- measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3.5 cups curly kale (100g)
- 2 cups frozen peas (300g)
- 4 cups vegetable stock (1 litre)
- ½ cup vegan heavy cream (100 ml)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the kale to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it starts to wilt.
- Next, add the frozen peas and vegetable stock to the pan and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Cook the soup for about 10-15 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
- Now, using a hand blender, blend the soup until it's smooth. If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can blend it less.
- Stir in the vegan cream and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat the soup for another 2-3 minutes until it's heated through.
- Finally, serve the soup hot. You can pair it with some crusty bread on the side.
Notes
- To serve the Vegan Pea and Kale soup, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for added flavor. A side of crusty bread or a light salad complements the soup well. For a bit of crunch, top your bowl with croutons.
- If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- To reheat, pour the soup into a pot and warm it on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally until hot. If the soup has thickened too much, you can add a bit of vegetable stock or water to thin it out. You can also reheat the soup in a microwave-safe container. Use the high setting for about 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even heating.
- The soup also works well for meal prep. Prepare a batch at the beginning of the week, and you'll have a quick, easy, and healthy meal ready for those busy weekday nights!
