Add the green peas, salt and and 1,2 litres (5 cups) of water, bring to a boil and cook for 6-7 minutes. When green peas are tender, do not cook more because green peas lose them vibrant green colour.
Add the coconut milk and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat.
Add 2 cloves of garlic and blend the soup with an immersion blender.

Serve the green pea soup with linseeds, black sesames, crispy fried onions, soup pearls or croutons.
