Green Peas & Coconut Soup with Ginger

Soup season is finally here. Although it’s still sunny almost every day, it’s already much cooler and the days are getting shorter again. Autumn is right around the corner. 🍁🎃🍂

Are you looking forward to autumn or are you already mourning the end of summer?

I’m an absolute summer fan, but there are a few things that make autumn special for me: cuddling up in a warm blanket on the couch & read, collecting chestnuts & colorful leaves and eating soup all the time, of course. 🍜 It’s the perfect way  to warm you up after a long autumn walk. 💛

The classic autumn soup choice is pumpkin soup for me, but today we’ll whip up a fresh green on the plate: wonderfully creamy Peas and Coconut Soup with Ginger. Being cooked from fresh (or frozen) peas and not from the yellowish dried ones, the soup has a bright green color and tastes wonderfully fresh and lovely. The fresh ginger provides a slightly piquant spiciness and the coconut milk complements everything to a creamy exotic soup.

I garnished the finished soup with desiccated coconut and sprinkled it with my Roasted Seed Mix. It adds a delicious crunch. A dollop of cool coconut yoghurt would certainly do well on the soup, too.

This soup is wonderfully simple and quickly prepared. After only 20 minutes it’s already steaming & fragrant on your table. And in case of leftovers, it also freezes very well.

Have fun cooking some soup and let me know how you like it. 💚 XO, Romy

I always choose organic produce whenever possible. It’s not only better for my health (and yours, too), but also for our environment. 🌍💫💚
