Miso Green Pea Soup

I love making a big batch of green soup with whatever I have in the fridge, and this recipe came about perfectly when I was in a late night fridge raid, wanting to make something beautiful from my weekly leftovers.

Naturally frozen peas were included, which got me thinking of the classic Pea And Ham Soup combo, but since ham is not exactly a food I tend to eat or have, I thought about what else I did have that would create the smokey, savoury umami flavour. And my jar of miso in the fridge (which thankfully never goes off), was the perfect addition.

I’ve used bone broth as a base and added coconut milk for creaminess, and with the salty miso this soup is seriously packed with flavour – as soup should be!

When making soup, I always encourage you to add in whatever is left in the fridge, any kind of greens and herbs will work here!
