Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oil in a large pot set over medium heat. Add chopped onions, garlic and ginger to the coconut oil. Cook until onion is tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add broth, fish sauce or substitute, and coconut milk to the onion mixture. Bring to a simmer.
  3. Add snap pears and cilantro, then cook until tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove soup from heat and puree with an immersion blender until mostly smooth. Mix in lime juice.
  5. Garnish if desired with reserved cilantro, lime slices or garnish of your choice.
  6. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The more pea strings you remove the better. They tend to get wrapped around the immersion blender blade otherwise (ask me how I know :) )
