This creamy vegan soup was born in the middle of March when on a bright afternoon I started to cook lunch for myself. So, I basically used what I had in hand having bright green colour in mind. To be honest it wasn’t my plan at all to develop a recipe or take photos. However, once I had pureed the soup and had seen how beautifully green, thick and creamy it was, I knew there’s no escape from setting the scene for photo session.
As you probably know, I’m all for whole food ingredients and prefer foods as nature has packaged them (as much as I can anyway). As a result I don’t use any extracted oils and choose get all the healthy fats from whole food sources such as soybeans, nuts, seeds, avocados and olives. Read how to cook oil-free.
My creamy vegan soup gets enough creaminess and heartiness from green peas and potatoes not to spoil it with any high-fat ingredients such as vegan cooking creams or oils.

Description
You wouldn’t believe this beautifully green as well as rich and creamy vegan soup with green peas, broccoli, kale and potatoes is totally oil-free and dairy-free. This soup is a real protein bomb that doesn’t lack in flavour, has only 6 ingredients and is ready in 15 minutes. In a word, perfect for those looking for a lean and low fat yet filling and satiating meal option.
Ingredients
- 120g (4.2oz, almost 1 cup) frozen green peas
- 40g (1.4oz, ½ cup) chopped leek
- 45g (1.6oz, 1 small) potato, cut into smaller cubes
- 80g (2.8oz, 1 large) carrot, cut into smaller cubes
- 100g (3.5oz) broccoli
- 50g (1.8oz, 3 cups chopped) kale
- 1½ tsp. broth powder
- ½–1 tsp. garlic powder
- Himalayan salt or Black pepper to taste
- Enough water for desired consistency
Instructions
- First, bring half a kettleful of water to boil.
- Then, throw frozen peas, chopped leek, carrot, potatoes, broth powder and garlic powder into small pot. Add enough hot water to cover (about 350g, 12.3oz) and bring to boil. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Next, chop kale and cut broccoli florets into smaller pieces. When the 5 minutes is up, add broccoli and kale to the soup. Pour in some hot water as well (just enough to cover) and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Let the soup cool a bit and puree using regular or immersion blender. Add water if necessary. Feel free to leave it chunky to have something to chew on.
- Season with black pepper and Himalayan salt (if your broth powder was unsalted).
- Finally, garnish with a tablespoon of nutritional yeast, a handful of alfalfa sprouts, a sprinkle of sesame seeds and some mint leaves, parsley or cilantro (optional). You also may add a splash of coconut milk.

Tips on my creamy vegan soup with green peas, broccoli and kale:
- To prepare more servings, simply multiply with the number of people you’re going to serve.
- Feel free to use onion instead of leek.
- Also, sweet potatoes instead of potatoes work just as fine.
- If kale is not in season, go for spinach, chard or other leafy greens. Use the same weight.
- Fresh green peas are just as good as frozen ones. Add at the end with broccoli and kale.
