TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Clean Green Broccoli And Pea Bowl:
- Use Fresh Or Frozen Peas: Both options work well, so rinse frozen peas briefly before cooking to reduce chill.
- Add Nutmeg Last: Stir in the nutmeg near the end to preserve its delicate flavour and aroma.
- Smaller Broccoli Florets Cook Faster: Chop into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and better texture.
- Blending Tip: If using a blender, allow soup to cool slightly before blending to avoid steam pressure build-up.
VARIATIONS
- Creamy Twist: Stir in 1 tablespoon of coconut cream or oat milk for a silky finish.
- Protein Boost: Add ¼ cup cooked white beans or chickpeas for extra plant-based protein and fibre.
- Herby Lift: Finish with fresh mint, parsley or basil for added freshness and complexity.
- Spiced Up: Add a pinch of cumin or ground coriander for earthy warmth.
- Zesty Version: A splash of lemon juice or zest brightens the flavour and adds contrast.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge Storage: Allow soup to cool, then store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat over low heat until steaming.
- Freezing: This soup freezes well, so store it in a sealed freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Reheating Tips: If the soup thickens during storage, add a splash of water or broth to loosen it as it reheats.
- Batch Prep Idea: Double the recipe and freeze individual portions for easy grab-and-go weekday meals.
