Finely chop the onion and garlic. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent.
Add the garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn it.
Add the green peas to the saucepan, then pour in the vegetable broth. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
Remove the soup from the heat and purée with an immersion blender until smooth. For an extra creamy texture, strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve.
Stir in the heavy cream until well combined. Gently reheat the soup, but do not boil.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley and croutons, if desired.
