How to Make Broccoli Pea and Mint Soup
This soup is bright green, rich and creamy. And the best part? It's so easy to make!
Here are the simple steps to whipping up a batch of homemade Broccoli Pea and Mint Soup any night of the week:
- First, heat a splash of olive oil in a large saucepan. Then add onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add broccoli, frozen peas, and cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Next, pour 2 cups of vegetable stock into the pot and bring to a boil. At this point, you may need to add more water to cover the peas and broccoli if necessary. Then add the potato and cook on low heat for 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is crisp-tender. I like to use a fork to test for doneness.
- Once the ingredients are cooked, let them cool in the saucepan. Then transfer the soup to a blender, add the mint, and blend until smooth.
- Just before serving, reheat the soup in a saucepan for 3-5 minutes on a low heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finally, serve your beautiful Broccoli Pea and Mint Soup garnished with a mint leaf. Serve with Gluten-Free Focaccia Bread.

How to Store Broccoli Pea and Mint Soup
This soup is best eaten right after making. However, you can let the soup cool and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. If you find the soup is thicker than when you first made it, simply thin it out with a bit more broth or water.
You can also freeze this soup for up to 3 months. It makes a refreshing an vibrant dinner in the dead of winter.
