Ingredients
For the garlic croutons:
- 4 cups bread cut into 1 inch cubes, I used a multigrain loaf
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
For the soup:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk canned, I used full-fat, but light would work too
- 6 cups fresh shelled peas
- ½ cup mint leaves chopped, packed
- ½ cup fresh parsley chopped, packed
- ½ cup scallions chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Make the garlic croutons:
- Preheat your oven's broiler.
- Place the bread cubes into a medium mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder. Arrange them in an even layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle with some salt.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil until they begin to brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Make the soup:
- Coat the bottom of a large pot with olive oil and place it over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until it's soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to sauté for about 1 minute more, until very fragrant. Stir in the broth, coconut milk, and peas. Raise the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and allow to simmer just until the peas are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the mint, parsley, and scallions.
- Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Return it to the pot, reheat if needed, and stir in the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle into bowls and top with the garlic croutons. Serve.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen peas if you decide to make this when fresh peas aren't in season. Just cut the simmer time down to about 2 minutes.
