Warm Up with This Tasty Pea and Mint Soup Recipe

Soup is the ultimate comfort food - and simple soup is so easy to throw together. January is National Soup Month and we can see why - the temperature has cooled off and it is officially blanket season. On those chilly weekday nights, all we want is something warming, hearty, and quick to make for supper. Luckily, this pea and mint soup recipe hits the spot. It is low in fat, high in fiber, flavor, and nutrients!

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon oil
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 cup onion, cubed
• 7 spring onions, roughly chopped, both green and white sections
• 1 cup potatoes, cubed
