Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter 28 g
  • 1 medium white onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups peas fresh or frozen, divided, 680 g
  • 1 cup roughly chopped mint about 18 g
  • 4 cups vegetable broth divided
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • To serve: parmesan cheese and/or crème fraîche

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Flavor Base: Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until onion is soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Soupify: Add 3 cups of the peas (reserve other 1 cup), mint, and 2 cups of the broth. Cover and bring to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Blend: Using a handheld immersion blender (or by carefully transferring to a countertop blender), blend the soup until smooth. (If using a countertop blender, leave the lid ajar to allow steam to escape).
  4. Assemble: Return soup to the pot and add remaining 1 cup of peas and remaining 2 cups of broth. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed.
  5. Serve: Serve hot. Optionally serve with parmesan cheese and crème fraîche.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
