Instructions:

1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
2. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Add frozen peas to the pot and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until peas are tender. Stir in fresh mint leaves and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
3. Remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.
4. Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in lemon juice for a hint of brightness. If desired, serve the pea and mint soup with a dollop of Greek yogurt or crème fraîche and garnish with additional mint leaves.

Basil

The popular and versatile herb is surprisingly expensive in supermarkets, but you can grow it cheap and easy right in your kitchen. Keep it in the area of your home that receives the most sunlight throughout the day.

Chives

Chives are a simple herb that can be added to many dishes, and they require very little maintenance. Keep them in a cooler area but make sure that they still get plenty of light.

Rosemary

This herb that is great for meats, fish, and potatoes can grow fruitfully all year if you give it plenty of water and light. What’s more, it will make your house smell fantastic!

Mint

Mint grows quickly and in large quantities, but doesn’t require full light, making it a perfect indoor plant.

Parsley

Parsley is another herb that doesn’t need full sunlight, so you can safely grow it in a container at any time of year.

Sage

Sage is such a beautiful flavor to add to cocktails, especially with fruits like blackberry and blueberry. As soon as the sugar has dissolved into the water, put some fresh sage leaves into the pot and steep for at least 20 minutes, longer if you want it stronger or more leaves for less time for the same desired effect.

Mint

Mint lemonade is one of the most refreshing drinks to have, especially for summertime. Steep some mint leaves in the syrup but only for about 15 minutes or the flavor will be off and the shelf life will be shortened.

Basil

Peach iced tea is wonderfully sweet, but using basil as a neutralizer makes it even better. Since basil is such a delicate herb, don’t be afraid to use a lot of it in the syrup!
