I am so excited about summer recipes! This beautiful green soup is just one of those, it’s loaded with veggies and fresh herbs: zucchini, arugula, green peas, dill and basil. It’s refreshing and makes a perfectly satisfying summer midweek meal.
This is a fairly simple recipe again. And cheap. And quick. And healthy. And vegan. Everything you have ever dreamed about. The soup is slightly sweet from the peas, lightly peppery-mustardy from the arugula and super fresh from the herbs. It’s just so light and creamy, I could eat it everyday. Oh, wait, I do actually: the soup is great when cold, so you can just make a huge portion and keep it in the fridge and eat in the next days too.

I love zucchini in soups. I just posted a chilled zucchini soup a few days ago. 🙂 This sounds delicious Evi. I love the addition of peas and dill.
Thanks, Linda!
Your sage version sounds so delicious too!
Nice combination for summer soup, Evi! I love zucchini and dill in my soup, I’m adding peas and basil sometimes, but I never yet tried this kind of soup with arugula… I will correct that asap 🙂
Thank you, Jasmin!
This is an incredibly beautiful soup, Evi. I love that it’s packed with fresh veggies and two of my favorite herbs, dill and basil. Well done! 🙂
Thanks, Julie!
I’m with you: dill and basil are amazing!
I adore dill- this looks so beautiful and refreshing! As always, totally gorgeous pictures 🙂
Thank you!!!! ❤️
I love green soup, you can never feel anything but good about yourself after enjoying. And yours is the perfect light summer edition Evi. I mean dill is sort of a summer thang anyway, in my opinion 😉
Thank you, Meg!
Yes, dill means summer for me too and I’m just eating tones of it in the summer 🙂
I am SO excited about summer recipes too! And this one looks like one of the best yet. Love this recipe.
Hmm that sounds so good and flavourful!
Have to try the soup 🙂
Thanks, Verena!
You’re so right – it’s a dream soup! Zucchini, arugula, peas, and herbs is such a scrumptious (and so summer) combo! Love these small air bubbles on the top. OK, enough talking. There’s my big spoon? Hahah. Good job!
Thanks, Ben!
The air bubbles…hahaha….didn’t even notice! I guess I was blendering too hard 😀
