Sweet and Warming Pea and Spinach Soup

 

makes 2 servings

WHAT YOU NEED

• 1 tablespoon extra light olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion (or ½ medium)
• 2 cloves garlic
• A pinch of Himalayan/sea salt
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup water
• ½ cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon white cooking wine
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon Himalayan/sea salt
• A handful baby spinach

HOW TO PREPARE

1. Measure out a cup of frozen peas and allow it to thaw for about an hour or so.
2. Meanwhile, chop the small onion in thin, small pieces, and dice the garlic into small pieces as well. Put both of them in the frying pan with the olive oil.
3. Turn the heat to high-medium high (6, or just under). Let the pan heat up for a minute, then let the onions cook for about 12-15 minutes until the onions have browned. Be sure to constantly stir so the bottom doesn’t burn.
4. Once the onions are cooked, add the peas, water, coconut milk, cooking wine, onion powder, garlic powder and salt to the frying pan. Let it heat up for about 4 minutes, while stirring a lot.
5. Turn the heat off and transfer everything to a blender, and add a handful of baby spinach as well.
6. Blend on full speed until the soup is completely smooth and green. Serve with a small drizzle of coconut milk on top.
