The soup is a vegan creamy pea and mango soup. It’s quick and easy to make and tastes delicious. It is also very healthy because peas are very high in fiber and contain many important vitamins and minerals. Mango is also very healthy and contains a lot of vitamin C, among other things. The soup is not only delicious, but also very healthy. Drizzled with aromatically fragrant orange sesame oil and roasted pistachios.
Inspired by Indian Dal
A perfect winter soup warms body and soul. It is easy to prepare and tastes delicious. The ingredients are usually readily available. A perfect winter soup is a real comforter.
This pea soup is inspired by Indian mango dal made from yellow peas . The soup is very creamy and has a delicious, exotic taste. It’s perfect for a cold winter dinner.
Dal is a lentil or pea soup popular in India. I made this pea soup with a few modifications. First I roasted the carrots with the spices and then mixed in the peas, garlic, ginger and dried mango pieces. The spices together with the mango bring a great, exotic taste experience. Even without cream or coconut milk, the soup is very creamy and has a delicious, exotic taste. It’s perfect for a cold winter dinner.
tips
Add more/other veggies: I think carrots go perfectly with this recipe, but if you want to have more veggies in your pea soup like parsnips, zucchini, or cauliflower, adding those is a great idea!
Add some savory toppings: As I mentioned, my topping included flavored sesame oil, but toppings made with smoked tofu, fried onions, chilli flakes, some soy sauce, and/or coconut milk are great alternatives that could enhance this pea mango soup. But there are so many more incredible things that can be added like any kind of seeds, herbs or croutons!
Enjoy the soup with: Indian fried papadams or fresh, oven-warm flatbread.
