  5. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the chopped mint, parsley, and scallions.
  6. Carefully ladle the soup into batches into a food processor, blending until smooth and creamy.
  7. Return the blended soup to the pot and assess its thickness, adding more vegetable broth if necessary.
  8. Stir in a splash of fresh lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Ladle the warm soup into bowls and consider garnishing with extra herbs or a drizzle of coconut milk.
