This mint pea soup recipe is a light and refreshing dish that is delicious hot or cold.

The mint rounds out the pea flavor nicely and since this is made with vegetable broth, it's also a great vegan dish!

What ingredients are in pea and mint soup?

  • Spanish onion
  • garlic
  • vegetable broth
  • frozen peas
  • fresh mint leaves
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper

A nice Homemade Vegetable Broth is best for this soup (it's also healthier for you than the majority of store bought broth).

The olive oil can be swapped out for coconut oil or avocado oil.

How to make mint pea soup

Begin by heating olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

While the oil is heating, chop the onion, mint leaves, and garlic (photo 1).

Saute the onion until tender and translucent (photo 2). Add the garlic and saute for just one more minute (photo 3).

Pour the vegetable broth and frozen peas into the saucepan and allow to cook until the peas are al dente in texture (photos 4 & 5).

Add the mint leaves to the soup and cook for five more minutes before carefully transferring to a high speed blender (photos 6, 7 & 8). Process until the soup is completely smooth (photo 9)!
