A quick vegan style soup that tastes just like pea and ham. The main ingredient, dried mung beans, has a slightly smokey flavour and is a fantastic source of potassium. Mung beans are also a good fibre source.
Boil 1 cup of mung beans in 3 cups of water for 40-60 minutes, or until soft.
Drain the mung beans and rinse thoroughly and place in a blender or back in a pot.
Add 1/2 to 1 cup of boiling water - depending on how you like your soup consistency - and add a crumbled vegetable stock cube and salt and pepper to taste.
Puree or pulse with a blender or hand mixer until desired consistency is achieved.
