As spring is approaching I am still craving all of the soup recipes. In my opinion soup is a year around dish. The benefit of the seasons changing is that you can swap out the flavors with seasonal ingredients. This vegan creamy mint pea soup is perfect for spring.
This soup is so simple to make and yet so delicious. It is packed with plant protein thanks to the peas. Cashews add healthy fats and creaminess to this soup. The mint and lemon make this soup taste fresh and springy. However, if you aren't into mint you can sub in your favorite herb. I know you will love this soup!
Soup is one of my favorite things to cook. For another delicious soup recipe try my cauliflower tahini soup or my pumpkin tomato soup without coconut milk.
