This creamy broccoli pea and mint soup is a quick, easy, and surprisingly delicious weeknight meal. Made with simple ingredients like broccoli, frozen peas, fresh mint, and cream, it’s a comforting yet bright soup that’s perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large head broccoli, chopped into florets (about 4 cups)
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves, packed
  • ½ cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: extra mint leaves, a drizzle of cream, toasted pine nuts, or crumbled feta

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Toss in the chopped broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes until the broccoli is fork-tender.
  5. Add the frozen peas and cook for 2 more minutes.
  6. Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the fresh mint leaves.
  7. Blend the soup until completely smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender (in batches).
  8. Return the blended soup to low heat and stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk). Mix well until fully incorporated.
  9. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  10. Serve immediately in warm bowls. Garnish as desired.

Notes

Don’t overcook the vegetables to keep the soup bright green. For a vegan version, use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream. The soup tastes even better the next day. If using a regular blender, let the soup cool for 5-10 minutes before blending to avoid accidents.
