Keto Pea Soup is very healthy & ideal for us. Peas have a little more carbs but they give us a healthy package full of nutrients. They have vitamins, proteins, antioxidants, and fiber. We can save the peas in our freezers for having the soup at any time of the year. This Keto Pea Soup gives us amazing feasibility. We can prepare it & store it to have it any time without working/waiting. We only have to warm it up on the stovetop & enjoy/serve it only in ten minutes.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
PEAS:
You may use fresh/frozen peas here. Frozen peas are sweet compared to fresh ones, giving an attractive green color to the soup.
Include your choice of veggies. Never use dry split peas here as they take longer to cook with the fresh veggies.
ONIONS:
You are most welcome to add the diced onions. It gives the traditional flavor.
OIL:
Use any oil like avocado/olives. Saute the veggies in oil to tender them.
HEAVY CREAM:
Depending on your choice, you can use cream (heavy, sour) or yogurt (greek).
If you want to have the dairy-free option then use coconut milk. Any of these will give your soup a silky & velvety texture.
STOCK:
It is better to use vegetable stock here. Chicken or bone broth will taste delicious if you are not vegetarian.
GARLIC:
Fresh garlic always works best. Use either garlic (fresh minced or jarred minced)or its powder.
