Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Stir in the frozen peas, heavy cream, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup for a creamier texture. Alternatively, transfer half of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 9

Simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley on top.
