Ingredients:
\n4 tablespoons butter
\n4 green onions, chopped
\n1 pound frozen or fresh green peas
\n2\u2009\u00bd cups vegetable broth or stock
\n3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
\n2\u2009\u00bd cups milk
\nsalt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
\n1 pinch white sugar
\n\u00bd cup light whipping cream
\n2 sprigs fresh mint leaves for garnish<\/p>\n
Directions:
\nMelt butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over low heat. Add the 4 chopped green onions, and cook until softened, but not brown. Stir in the peas, vegetable stock, and 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint. Increase heat to medium, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat back to low, cover, and let simmer for about 30 minutes. If you are using frozen peas, 15 minutes is enough.<\/p>\n
Using a large slotted spoon, remove about 3 tablespoons of the peas, and set aside for garnish. Pour the soup into a blender or food processor along with the milk, and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Throw in a pinch of sugar if desired. Allow the soup to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.<\/p>\n
Pour the soup into 4 serving bowls. Swirl 1 tablespoon of light cream into each one, then garnish with reserved peas and sprigs of mint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
