This is not kitchen waste, it is a treasure of nutrition: Make soup from pea peels, creamy texture, immunity booster, taste even.

In the winter season, when fresh green peas are available in abundance in Bajir, most people use their grains and throw away the peels. But very few people know that pea peels are equally tasty, nutritious and rich in fiber, from which a very healthy and creamy soup can be made. This soup is not only excellent in taste, but also helps in increasing immunity and keeping the body warm.

First of all, the fresh and green peels of peas are washed thoroughly and separated. The softer the peels, the better the taste of the soup. After this, these peels are cut lightly and boiled with water in a big vessel. Adding a little salt while boiling enhances the flavor of the peels. When the peels become soft, they are cooled and ground finely in a blender. This makes the texture of the soup creamy and soft.

The ground mixture is filtered again and poured into a big pan, so that there is no fiber left in the soup. After this, ginger, garlic and a little black pepper are added and cooked on low flame. Ginger and garlic not only give taste to the soup but also enhance its nutritional properties. If desired, it can also be tempered by adding a little ghee, which enhances the aroma and taste of the soup.

While cooking on low flame, the soup starts thickening and a natural sweetness emerges in it, which is the real identity of pea shells. When the soup becomes completely creamy, then add some roasted cumin, crushed black pepper or green coriander on top and serve it hot. If you want, squeeze a little lemon on top, this enhances the taste even more.

This healthy pea peel soup is an easy, tasty and nutritious option that you can include in your breakfast, lunch or evening meal in winters. It tastes amazing even without much spices and can be prepared quickly with simple ingredients available at home. This soup not only prevents wastage of food but also gives plenty of energy to the body.
