Creamy Pea & Coconut Soup with Ginger - vegan & gluten-freeSoup 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. πŸπŸŽƒπŸ‚

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

Creamy Pea & Coconut Soup with Ginger - vegan & gluten-freeI’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 Β to warm you up after a long autumn walk. πŸ’›

Creamy Pea & Coconut Soup with Ginger - vegan & gluten-freeThe 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.

Creamy Pea & Coconut Soup with Ginger - vegan & gluten-freeI 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.
