How to Make Spring Pea Soup

• Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Toss in the minced garlic, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
• Stir in the fresh peas and vegetable broth. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, until the peas are tender.
• Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Add the heavy cream and fresh mint, blending briefly to incorporate.
• Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper. Adjust consistency with additional broth if necessary.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, garnishing with extra mint or sautéed peas.
