Pea & Mint soup (dairy free)

Pea & mint soup is a refreshingly light, delightful tasting soup ideal for any season.

Ingredients:

• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 3/4 cup raw cashews
• 1 cup hot water
• 3 cups frozen peas
• 2 cups boiling water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup fresh mint

Method:

1. Saute onion, garlic, oil in a medium pot. I recommend you use a pot with high sides so the stick blender can blend without mess.
2. In a blender, blend cashew nuts and 1 cup hot water until smooth and creamy.
3. Add frozen peas to pot. Add boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Don't overcook or peas will go brown.
4. Add cashew cream to the soup and reserve a little for a garnish.
5. Add salt and mint, blend the soup with a stick blender until smooth.
6. Transfer to a serving dish and serve with a garnish of mint, cashew cream and warm croutons on top.
   
   TIP: When purchasing peas, be aware that "minted peas" only contain mint flavouring, not actual mint
