Smoky Vegan Pea Soup
Inspired by the classic Pea & Ham Soup, this Smoky Vegan Pea Soup delivers all the comforting depth of flavour in a fully plant‑based way. Fresh, sweet peas pair beautifully with the rich, savoury notes of smoked garlic, creating a warming bowl that’s both simple and satisfying. The smoked garlic adds a wonderfully deep, smoky character that elevates the natural sweetness of the peas and makes this vegan soup feel hearty, wholesome and full of flavour.
