Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
4 green onions, chopped
1 pound frozen or fresh green peas
2 ½ cups vegetable broth or stock
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
2 ½ cups milk
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch white sugar
½ cup light whipping cream
2 sprigs fresh mint leaves for garnish

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. 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.
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.
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.

Chilled Green Pea Soup with Mint and Avocado image

This is a soup that I serve for special occasions (like Easter), and catering events (like weddings). It's relatively simple to make, and creates a wonderful presentation, when served in a martini glass. Although this soup is cooked and then cooled, you can skip the cooking and make the soup entirely in the blender. In...

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted, or olive oil (extra virgin)
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 stalk(s) celery, finely chopped
4 c chicken stock, divided
6 c fresh peas or frozen peas, thawed (recommend fresh)
1/4 c fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 c fresh mint leaves
1 tsp fresh dill, finely chopped
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 medium ripe avocado, halved, stone removed, and flesh scraped out
salt, kosher variety, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 c crème fraîche, for garnish

Steps:

1. Gather your ingredients.
2. Place the stock in a saucepan and bring up to a lite simmer.
3. Chef's Note: In most cases, you want to avoid adding cold ingredients to cooked ingredients; such as a cold stock to the hot veggies. It can do strange things to the taste of your final product.
4. Place the butter (or olive oil) in a large pot over medium heat.
5. Add the onion and the celery, and stir with a wooden spoon until the veggies are softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
6. Chef's Note: Do not let them brown or burn.
7. Add two cups of the chicken stock, and bring the mixture to a boil.
8. Add the peas, and then immediately reduce the pot to a lite simmer.
9. Allow the pot to lightly simmer for about 5 minutes.
10. Remove from the heat, and add the remainder of the ingredients with the exception of the crème fraîche, salt, and pepper.
11. Purée the soup in a blender, and then season with the salt and pepper, to taste.
12. Chef's Tip: Have some additional stock on hand, just in case the soup is too thick.
13. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the soup.
14. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight.
15. Serve cool, with a dollop of crème fraîche. Enjoy.
16. Keep the faith, and keep cooking

Tips:

For a smoother soup, blend the peas and mint leaves until completely smooth before adding them to the pot.
If you don't have fresh mint leaves, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of dried mint.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes.
Serve the soup with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, and a sprinkling of fresh mint leaves.
To make the soup ahead of time, let it cool completely and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This green pea and mint soup is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy fresh peas. It's also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for a light lunch or dinner. With its vibrant green color and delicate flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
