Shell the green peas and take out all the kernels in a bowl. Discard the shells and spoilt/rotten/yellow kernels. Rinse peas with water. Transfer to a colander.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan. Add garlic, celery, thyme, and onion. Saute them for a minute to release their aroma and infuse the flavour into the oil—no need to brown them.
Add green peas, potatoes, and saute them for 2 - 3 minutes.
Add vegetable stock, salt, black pepper, fresh coriander, and stir to combine. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer over low heat till vegetables are soft and fully cooked.
Once the vegetables are cooked, blend the soup using an immersion hand blender or transfer the soup to the jar of a blender. Once it cools down a bit, blend it to a smooth consistency.
After blending the soup, turn on the heat, and add coconut milk. Stir to combine, taste and if required, add more seasoning. Simmer the soup for 1 - 2 minutes.
Garnish green peas soup with coconut milk and chopped coriander.
Serve green peas soup warm.

If you like green peas soup with a smooth consistency - use a strong stand blender and not a hand blender for grinding the soup. Also, strain the soup after blending to get a smooth consistency. Else, the texture of my green peas soup is coarse.
If you are not keen on using coconut milk, substitute it with heavy cream.
You can add a few sprigs of mint leaves also to the soup for flavour.
