Steps:
- Melt butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over low heat. Add the 4 chopped green onions, and cook until softened, but not brown.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest peas possible. Fresh peas have a sweet, crisp flavor that is unmatched by frozen or canned peas.
- If you can't find fresh peas, frozen peas are a good substitute. Just be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the peas. Mint, green onions, and garlic are all great choices.
- Don't overcook the peas. Peas should be cooked just until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked peas are mushy and bland.
- Serve the peas immediately. Peas are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
