Recipe Reviews

I had high hopes for this soup - ginger and cumin are two of my favorites, and I had two bags of fresh peas in my CSA box. But for me and my family, this was not that great. The recipe calls for a lot of garlic - 10 cloves. We all felt the flavor was too heavily garlic. I could taste the ginger, but with only 1/4 tsp cumin, it was hard to detect above the garlic.

If I make this again, I'd use 2 cloves of garlic, use a lot more cumin, and be sure to have the right blending instrument.

I did use fresh mint as a garnish and lemon juice, but for me, it didn't save this soup.

This soup is excellent! It is a quick weeknight option and can be made from things you probably already have in your pantry. I cut back on the garlic considerably, using only 4 or 5 cloves. I used queso fresco, and it was delicious. I served the soup over brown basmati rice and garnished with fresh mint and lemon.
