Pea & Mint Soup

This soup is so easy to make with the simplest ingredients! The flavors of the mint mixed with the peas makes it so refreshing and aromatic.

Recipe (2-3 people)
Ingredients:
 1/2 an Onion peeled and finely chopped
 1 Garlic clove peeled and finely chopped
 2 Celery sticks finely chopped
 3 cups of organic frozen peas (found at Lulu)
 3 TBSP of finely chopped fresh mint
 1300ml of water
 Salt & Pepper to taste
 Lemon/lime (optional but recommended!)

Method:
 - Place the onion, garlic, celery and peas in a pan and cover with 1000ml water and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes.
- In a food processor blend the soup with the chopped mint until its smooth. (you might need to use the remaining 300ml of water here if it becomes too thick)
- Reheat if you like and serve immediately.
- Sprinkle with salt & Pepper.

Tip: squeeze some lemon/lime on top, it enhances the flavor of this soup :D
