What You’ll Need To Make

Key Ingredients That Make This Soup Awesome

Broccoli: Packed with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, broccoli is the star of this soup. I use both the florets and stems—waste not, right? The stems add extra body and flavor when simmered! 🥦

Peas: These little green gems not only add sweetness but also give the soup that beautiful vibrant color. Plus, they’re loaded with protein and nutrients. 💚

Coconut Water: A bit unconventional for soup, but trust me, it works! It brings a subtle sweetness that perfectly balances the savory flavors. 🌴

Almond Flour: This is my little trick to make the soup extra creamy without adding any dairy. It also gives a nice boost of healthy fats. 🥄

Chia Seeds: They’re not just for smoothies! Chia seeds thicken the soup a bit and add a fun texture when sprinkled on top as a garnish. ✨

Each ingredient plays its part to make this soup taste fresh, light, and oh-so-satisfying!

What You’ll Need To Do

Time required: 25 mins

Alright, let’s whip up some silky smooth Broccoli and Pea Soup! 🥦

1| Start by heating up a splash of olive oil (about a tablespoon) in a big ol’ pot over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion and that minced garlic. Give them about 5 minutes to work their magic—nice and fragrant, and a little translucent. Yum!

2| Next, chuck in the broccoli stems (yep, stems first!), pour in the veggie stock and coconut water, and let the whole thing simmer away for 8-10 minutes. It’s already starting to smell fantastic, right?

3| Now, add the broccoli florets, green peas, almond flour, and chia seeds to the pot. Give it all a good stir and cook for another 5 minutes—just enough for the veggies to get nice and tender.

4| Time to blend! Grab your trusty immersion blender and blitz everything until the soup’s as smooth as you like it. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, give it a taste, and adjust if needed.

5| Ladle it into bowls, sprinkle a few extra chia seeds on top, and serve it up hot. Perfect cozy vibes in a bowl! 🌿✨

Recipe Swaps & Creative Tweaks

Recipe Swaps

  • Broccoli Swap: No broccoli? No problem! Swap it with cauliflower for a similar creamy texture and mild flavor. 🥦➡️🌼
  • Coconut Water Alternative: If you’re out of coconut water, just use more vegetable stock or even plain water with a splash of coconut milk for richness. 🌴➡️🥥
  • Almond Flour Substitute: You can replace almond flour with cashew flour or even regular flour if you’re not going for a gluten-free version. 🌰
  • Chia Seed Replacement: Don’t have chia seeds? Flaxseeds work just as well, or you can skip them altogether and garnish with toasted seeds or nuts. ✨

Helpful Tips for Success

Useful Tips for Making Silky Broccoli and Pea Soup

Try my Ground Turkey and White Bean Soup recipe.

1| Chop Broccoli Stems Small – Since stems take longer to cook than florets, cutting them into small pieces ensures they soften evenly and blend smoothly.

2| Don’t Overcook the Veggies – Keep an eye on the simmer time! Overcooking can dull the vibrant green color and reduce the fresh flavor. Aim for just-tender veggies. 🌿

3| Use an Immersion Blender – It’s the easiest way to get that silky texture right in the pot. If you’re using a regular blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending in batches to avoid any hot soup explosions! 🔥🥣

4| Adjust Consistency to Your Liking – If the soup feels too thick, just add a splash of water or more vegetable stock until it’s the perfect consistency for you.

5| Season Gradually – Start with a little salt and pepper, then taste and adjust. You can always add more, but you can’t take it out! 😉

6| Make it Ahead – This soup actually tastes even better the next day once the flavors have had time to mingle. Just store it in the fridge and reheat when ready.

7| Garnish Like a Pro – A sprinkle of extra chia seeds, a drizzle of olive oil, or a few fresh herbs on top can elevate the presentation and flavor in seconds. 🌟

4| Sprinkle with Nuts or Seeds – A handful of toasted almonds, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds adds a nice crunch and a boost of nutrients. 🌰✨

5| Serve in a Bread Bowl – Feeling fancy? Hollow out a round loaf of bread and serve the soup right in it. Eat the bowl when you’re done! 🍞

6| Pair with a Light Salad – A fresh green salad with a lemon vinaigrette complements the rich flavors of the soup beautifully. 🌿🥗

Storage Options

Refrigeration: Let the soup cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. Store it in the fridge for up to 4 days. When reheating, gently warm it on the stovetop over medium heat or pop it in the microwave, stirring occasionally.

Freezing: This soup freezes beautifully! Pour it into freezer-safe containers or resealable bags (lay the bags flat for easy storage), and it’ll keep well for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat as usual.

Portioning Tip: Freeze in individual portions so you can grab a quick, healthy meal anytime. Mason jars or small freezer containers work great for single servings.

Reheating Advice: If the soup thickens a bit after storage, just add a splash of water or vegetable stock while reheating to get it back to the right consistency. 🌿
