Peas flaunt twice the protein of most vegetables, so they're the ideal substitute for fattier protein fare, providing an excellent strategy for controlling your fat intake.

Cooking time 35 min

Ingredients(servings 4)

6 cups Water 

3 Garlic Cloves (minced)
450 gm Fresh Peas (boiled)
1 cup Fresh Mint (chopped)
1 small Onion (chopped)
1 tbsp Olive Oil 

1 tbsp Fennel Seeds Powder (roasted) - optional
2 tbsp Fresh Cream (garnishing)
Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
Salt (to taste)

How to make Green Peas & Mint Soup Take a large saucepan and moderately heat the olive oil. Now, add onions and garlic and cook it until it becomes soft. It will take approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Stir it continuously, so that it does not stick to the saucepan. Then mix in the fennel powder and stir again. Add chopped mint, peas and water to the saucepan and bring it to boil. After boiling, reduce the heat to simmer mode and cook for 15 minutes. Now, let it cool a little. Using a blender, make a puree of the soup in batches and bring it to boil again. Add salt and black pepper to it and garnish it with mint and fresh cream. Serve hot with brown breads... by Faiza Anjum www.faizafoods.blogspot.com
