(Serves 4)

• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups (810 g) frozen peas
• Two big handfuls of baby spinach
• 4 cups (950 ml) low-sodium vegetable stock
• ½ tsp dried thyme
• 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
• Sea salt, to taste

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is transparent, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the peas, spinach, stock, thyme, and bring to a simmer. Cook until the peas are heated through and the spinach is wilted. Stir in the nutritional yeast.

Carefully blend the soup with an immersion blender. If you don’t have one, you can blend it in two batches in a regular blender, being careful not to splatter any hot liquid. Taste and add sea salt if necessary. Enjoy!
