So refreshing, savory and nutrient packed, 15 minute one pot soup. We adore Spring inspired soups that are light, simple and sourced with quality ingredients!

Peas are high in protein, fiber, antioxidants and micro-nutrients . Peas also have anti-inflammatory properties. Excess inflammation has been linked to, heart disease, cancer, weigh gain among other diseases. Peas create a lovely base for the soup when paired with vegetable stock and coconut milk.

Avocado may be our favorite go-to superfood. They contain vitamin B6 and folic acid, which help regulate homocysteine levels. High level of homocysteine is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. They contain the healthy fats that your body needs to metabolize your food and they help you glow with antioxidants that fight free radicals, boost the immune system and slow the aging process. There are so many benefits!

We can’t have a Spring soup without enjoying the detoxing benefits of lemon! We added lemon into the recipe and also as a garnish to brighten the entire experience. Lemon also helps preserve the soup longer in your fridge!

Enjoy the soup warm or cold the next day in a mason jar. To make the soup hearty for the family, we added brown rice and microgreens and it was delicious! Get creative.
