How to Make Spinach and Fresh Pea Soup

I worked as a banker for 17 years. I love staying fit and cooking tasty and healthy meals. I don't use artificial colors and preservatives.

Spinach and pea soup is unique because of its texture, flavor, and color. It has a rich, creamy texture, an herbal flavor, and a beautiful bright green color. This refreshing springtime soup is an easy starter to make; I can prepare it in just 25 minutes.

Cook Time

Ingredients

• 1 bowl spinach, washed and roughly chopped
• 1 cup fresh peas or frozen, If using frozen peas, immerse them in water for 5-10 minutes. Strain them.
• 1/2 cup onions, diced
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/2 tsp peppercorns
• 1/4 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 tsp butter or oil
• 1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
• water, to adjust the consistency

5. Pour the puree into the deep-bottomed pan that you have used earlier. Add the remaining milk. Add some salt. Mix well.
