Super Green Pea & Mint Soup | Rebel Recipes (2)

I have been making this Super Green Pea & Mint soup for years now and it’s still one of my favourites. It’s super healthy, full of plant proteins and really easy to make. Plus, I love the vivid green colour. You just know it’s good for you!

The great thing about this soup is that you can throw in any additional green veggies you want and it will taste delicious like pea and mint. I love this as the more additional veg I can add in, the better so I can really ramp up the green goodness.

I particularly like to add in spinach, courgette and sugar snap peas (for a pea super charge!) however, green beans and leftover lettuce also work really well.

This soup is really wholesome and satisfying, a perfect for winter lunch.
