Ingredients
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 each dried red chile peppers, chopped
1 C. potatoes, diced
2 1/2 C. green peas, fresh or frozen
1/4 tsp. coriander powder
1/4 tsp. cumin powder

Cooking Instructions
In a soup pot, warm the olive oil over low heat until hot. Stir in the chile and spices and heat for 30 seconds. Add the potatoes and peas and slowly cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, but do not brown. Reduce heat if necessary. Add stock and raise heat. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and cook until the vegetables are very tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from stove and cool for 10 minutes. In batches, place soup through a blender and blend until smooth. Return to a clean pot and gently reheat. Season with salt and pepper and serve garnished with fresh mint leaves.
