  3. Bring to a boil again then simmer for 10 – 15 minutes.
  4. Stir in frozen green peas, bring to a boil again, then simmer for another 3 minutes.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender, add 3 basil sprigs, and lime juice.
  6. If you use fresh spinach you could add it now too.
  7. Puree the soup until very smooth.
  8. Stir in the coconut milk.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  1. Thin out with more water if the soup is too thick
  2. If it’s too thin add some nutritional yeast
  3. Instead of basil sprigs you could also use mint sprigs
  4. Lemon juice works of course too if you don’t have lime
  5. Instead of coconut milk and or green peas you could also use cashew cream or raw cashews
  6. Vegetarians can replace coconut milk with sour cream
