Vegetarian Pea Soup - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use frozen peas, but adjust cooking time since they require less softening—about 15-20 minutes. Reduce water slightly as frozen peas release more moisture.
For extra creaminess, blend in a small cooked potato or a splash of coconut milk. Both add richness while keeping the soup dairy-free.
Absolutely! Combine all ingredients (including raw vegetables) with 3 liters of water and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Blend before serving.
Store cooled soup in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The texture thickens over time—thin with water when reheating.
Freeze in portion-sized containers for up to 3 months. Leave 1-inch headspace for expansion. Thaw overnight in fridge before reheating.
Yes, replace potatoes with cauliflower florets or turnips for lower carbs. These still provide body but with fewer carbohydrates.
Try crispy croutons, a drizzle of olive oil, fresh herbs, or vegan cream. Smoked paprika adds depth if you miss the traditional ham flavor.
Stir in hot water or vegetable broth ¼ cup at a time until desired consistency. Reheat gently after adjusting.
Any neutral oil like avocado or sunflower oil works. For oil-free cooking, water-sauté the vegetables with 1-2 tbsp of vegetable broth.
