Navigating Global Soups with a Green Pea Allergy: Your Comprehensive Safety Guide

Dining out with a green pea allergy can feel like navigating a culinary minefield, especially when exploring global cuisines. Soups—comforting and ubiquitous—often hide green peas in unexpected places. This guide will help you safely enjoy soups worldwide using the mm food app, your tool for translating menus and detecting allergens like green peas.

Why Green Peas Are a Common Hidden Risk

Green peas (and their derivatives, like protein powders or flours) are frequently used in soups for texture and flavor. From French potage Saint-Germain to Indian matar ka shorba, even trace amounts can trigger reactions. The mm food app scans menus in real-time, flagging green pea ingredients in any language.

Spotlight on Global Soups: Safety Tips

1. French Cuisine: Classic potage Saint-Germain is pea-based, but the app can suggest alternatives like soupe à l’oignon (onion soup) or bouillabaisse (fish stew).
2. Japanese Miso Soup: Typically pea-free, but check for added pea shoots or blended veggie broths.
3. Chinese Hot & Sour Soup: Often safe, but verify with the app—some recipes include peas or pea starch.
4. Mexican Pozole: A hominy-based stew; use the app to confirm no pea garnishes are added.
5. Italian Minestrone: Risky due to mixed vegetables; filter menus for "no peas" using mm food’s dietary preset.

How to Use the App for Soup Safety

• Set Custom Alerts: Block green peas and related terms (e.g., petit pois, matar).
• AI-Powered Translation: Instantly decode foreign-language menus and identify hidden pea derivatives.
• Ask for Alternatives: The app suggests pea-free soups based on local cuisine.
