Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 4 cups frozen peas and 3 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until peas are tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Remove from heat and stir in the 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth and bright green.

  4. Step 4

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and swirl in the 1/2 cup heavy cream, dividing evenly.

  5. Step 5

    Garnish with extra mint leaves if desired. Serve hot.
