Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 4 cups fresh or frozen sweet peas
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 loaf crusty bread or croutons (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring to prevent burning.
Step 4
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring it to a gentle boil.
Step 5
Add the sweet peas, parsley, and mint to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Using an immersion blender (or working in batches with a countertop blender), carefully puree the soup until smooth. If using a countertop blender, return the pureed soup to the pot.
Step 7
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Heat the soup gently for another 2-3 minutes, but do not let it boil.
Step 9
Serve hot with crusty bread or croutons, if desired.
