The weather in Dubai is great these days. When most of the people at other places in the world are struggling with cold, people of Dubai are enjoying spring-like time. However, when most of the countries will start enjoying spring we will be living in an extremely hot summer. Before this beautiful weather drifts away I thought of making a soup that is perfect for spring- Green Peas Soup. The beautiful bright green color of the soup goes perfectly with the weather. This is one of those soups like Mushroom Tom Yum Soup, which can be equally enjoyed at any time of the year. So, no matter which season you are living in just make a bowl of this comforting green peas soup and enjoy.
What type of peas to use in this soup?
If you can find fresh peas there’s nothing like that. However, it can also be made with frozen or canned peas. Since fresh peas are not easily available in Dubai, I have used frozen peas here.
Which herbs to use?
I believe that depending on your taste you can always modify the type and amount of herbs and seasonings used in any recipe. So feel free to change the herbs/ seasoning in this recipe too. I have used mint, basil, coriander leaves, and spring onion to flavor this soup. If you don’t like coriander or any other herb, either skip it or replace it with something else that you prefer.
How to serve?
To serve the green peas soup just drizzle some olive oil or fresh lemon juice, sprinkle freshly ground pepper, add some blanched peas and enjoy! You can serve some garlic bread or a fresh salad like Fattoush on the side.
An interesting fact about green peas
Did you know that the oldest evidence of people eating peas was found in the starch embedded in the teeth of Neanderthals dated around 46, 000 years ago? That of course was the wild variety of green peas we eat now.
