Sweet Pea & Miso Soup Recipe

Soup Preparation

1. 1

   Sauté the base

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add broth and peas

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Add the sweet peas and let them cook for about 5 minutes, until tender.

3. 3

   Mix in miso

   Reduce the heat to low. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste with a ladle of the hot broth until smooth. Stir this mixture back into the pot.

4. 4

   Season the soup

   Add salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Blend the soup

   Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer to a blender in batches.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh mint or basil if desired.
