Preparation Steps
1
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Thoroughly rinse the green peas under cold running water.
2
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, being careful not to burn them.
3
Add the green peas to the saucepan, stir to combine, then pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the peas are completely tender.
4
Once the peas are tender, remove from heat and use an immersion blender to purée the mixture until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add a little water or broth to reach your desired consistency.
5
Stir in the heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Reheat over medium heat, but do not bring to a boil.
6
Serve the soup garnished with freshly chopped parsley. You can also serve it with toasted croutons or grated cheese.
