In my family, there’s always time for soup and I’m pretty sure this works for this healthy, super green soup with peas, mint and spinach as well. It’s so good, I could even have it for breakfast!

Alright maybe not at seven in the morning, but this soup would be a great addition to a brunch. Besides, it’s super easy to prepare AND it’s vegan!
Like I said in the introduction: I’m from a soup family. Instead of a cup of coffee, we eat a steaming bowl of soup together. When there’s someone sick, my aunts always make soup. My grandma used to do that as well. She would just deliver a pan of soup at your door. This didn’t just happen with illness of loss, it also happened when you got back from your holiday trip. That way you didn’t have to cook dinner, because after a day of traveling you definitely don’t want to do that. And if someone from my family will suddenly come over for dinner, they will probably offer to bring some soup.
My mom says eating soup heals, but making it does as well. “With different ingredients you can make a healthy, filling meal. And when you’re not feeling well, a small bowl of soup never disappoints,” she says. Her favorite is the ’empty your fridge soup,’ a soup to which you add everything from your fridge that needs to be eaten asap. It’s always different and always delicious!
So today we’re not making the empty your fridge soup, but we are making an awesome super green minty pea soup. Don’t be intimidated by the mint. It’s very subtile and refreshing. I’m definitely a fan!
