This Comoros sweet pea soup is fantastic. It has a lovely spiciness coming from a little cayenne and ginger and a wonderful creaminess from some light coconut milk. It is a simple recipe and don’t forget the lime. It is perfect with it. I will add this recipe to my favorites, it’s a keeper. Thanks Comoros!

Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion minced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound frozen peas thawed
  • 1/2 pound tomatoes chopped
  • 3 teaspoons ginger finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 can light coconut milk 3 tablespoons reserved for garnish
  • 4 cups water
  • thinly sliced lime for serving

Instructions

  • Remove peas from the freezer to thaw while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Meanwhile, over medium-low heat, heat olive oil in a large pot and add the onion and garlic. Gently cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until onions have softened.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients (except the coconut milk) and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Note you can adjust the amount of cayenne to your heat tolerance.
  • Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender), blend soup until smooth.
  • Add the coconut milk, bring to a simmer just to warm coconut milk. Do not allow it to boil.
  • Serve by drizzling reserved coconut milk over the top and adding a lime wheel.
