    Pea & Mint Soup with Thai Shrimp Skewers

    Published: Nov 23, 2014 · Modified: Sep 20, 2021 by Andrea

    Jump to Recipe

    Classic Pea & Mint soup is a staple in English traditional cuisine.
    It's one of the most healthy soups around, it's easy to make and most of all it's super quick, something you don't usually see happen when cooking soup recipes.

    The holiday season is just around the corner, so it's the right time to enjoy light meals before Thanksgiving. Actually, the refreshing taste of this soup packed with vibrant flavors would make a fantastic option for any season, whether is summer time or winter.

    This Pea&Mint soup version, has all the green ingredients you can dream of, so you can make the most out of all the vitamins and antioxidants they contain.
    The Thai grilled Shrimp skewers upgrade this soup to a well balanced and complete meal. The ingredients are simple, fresh and easy to find during all seasons, so you can enjoy it all year around.

    It's also a handy choice if you're vegetarian, or have vegetarian guests over for dinner. You can easily serve the grilled king prawns skewers on the side, they're a great addiction, but the soup is amazing on its own!

    This pea & mint soup has it all, did I mention it's also gluten free and diary free? So, even more people can enjoy it!

    Really,of the many I have tried, this has to be the Ultimate Pea&Mint Soup recipe!
