This homemade coconut green pea soup is a very filling, wholesome soup made with just a few ingredients.
It can be eaten as a full meal, especially if you serve it with delicious coconut roti (traditional Sri-Lankan coconut flat bread)
I like making this soup with fresh green peas, but you can also use rehydrated green peas.
If you do so wash, clean and then soak the peas for 2 hours prior to cooking.
This soup is especially nice in the winter, because it’s pretty thick and leaves you full for a long time.
Many countries in Europe have their own variation of green pea soup which is traditionally served during cold times.
So cozy up by the fire place with your loved one(s) and share a bowl of this coco-pea soup!

Instead of serving bread with your soup, try coconut roti instead, it goes great with it.
