- It's not what you think. It's not really vegan it just happens to be dairy free and you don't need any kind of pork in it.

1 lb frozen or FRESH peas
2 cups vegtable broth
1/2 tsp. cummin
1/2 tsp. white pepper
1 tsp. sea salt (or koshering salt)
1 garlic clove, crushed and minced

Add all ingredients to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce heat until peas are very soft. Remove from heat and cool about 5 mins.

Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth. To remove the skins, pour through a sieve back into the original saucepan. Re-heat and season with fresh cracked pepper. Serve with a garnish of mint or basil.

Alternates:
For non-vegan, at a splash of cream to the pan or a dolup of sour cream to each bowl.

A few drops of Tabasco gives it a kick!
