- 1 white onion
- 4 1/2 cups peas frozen
- 3 1/4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 tbsp fresh mint
- toppings anything you like
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Heat 1 Tablespoon of Olive oil in a large stock pot on a low/medium heat. Saute the onion for 2-3 minutes until it just begins to soften.
- Peel and dice the potatoes and add them to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer for 12-15 minutes.
- Add the peas and simmer for a further 5 minutes.

- If you want your soup more minty, simply add more mint leaves!
Notes
Great on it’s own, but I love eating it with some croutons, a swirl of coconut cream and some fresh sliced spring onions.
