This is one of our favorite St. Patrick's Day meals that also tastes great other times of the year. You can add cayenne or lemon pepper for a little kick. —Laura Wilhelm, West Hollywood, California

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh or frozen peas
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 small lemon, quartered and seeded
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • Optional: Nonfat Greek yogurt, croutons and fresh mint leaves

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven, place peas, vegetable broth, potato, green onions and lemon. Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove soup from heat; cool slightly. Remove lemon quarters, squeezing out excess juice into soup. Stir in mint, garlic powder and salt. Process in batches in a blender until smooth; return to pan and heat through.
  2. If desired, garnish with nonfat Greek yogurt, croutons and fresh mint leaves.
