INGREDIENTS

2 tsp (10 mL) oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, diced

1 tsp (5 g) dried thyme

2 cups (300 g) frozen peas

1 cup (150 g) frozen shelled edamame (or substitute extra peas)

4 cups (1 L) vegetable stock*

½ cup (65 g) raw cashews, preferably soaked for 2 hours to overnight (optional), drained

Salt and pepper

Directions

In a large pot on medium-high heat, cook the onions, garlic and oil, until the onions are golden and soft, about 5 minutes. Add splashes of water as needed to deglaze the pot.
Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, partially cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup into a creamy, smooth soup. Top with homemade croutons, and enjoy!
