Cilantro Pea Soup

I tried to make this recipe

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/jun/11/jack-monroe-chilled-pea-coriander-chilli-soup-recipe

but used cilantro instead by accident. The result was....DELICIOUS!

I used mostly the same ingredients, but some were different, so I"ll just list what I used here.

Ingredients:

*bunch of cilantro
*4 green onions
*half of a lime
*salt
*1 garlic clove
* about 4 tbsp of sheep yogurt
*1 small red potatoe
*1 onion bouillon cube
*1 beef bouillon cube (it was what we had in the cupboard - forgive me! Although, you can use vegetable broth if you have it)
* water
* frozen peas (about 1-2 cups)
*sunflower oil

I heated the sunflower oil on low heat, added the chopped potatoes, chopped green onions, and minced garlic. Fried until I could smell the onions.

Then I added the bouillons and water (as much as the amount of soup I wanted. To make flavourful, I would just add salt).

Then I let the potatoes become tender and then added the peas for about 5 minutes.

Then I took it off the stove and added cilantro, squeezed lime juice, added salt.

Then I used hand blender to blend everything in the pot (too lazy to pour into a blender)

Then I put back on heat and served.

Enjoy!!!
